The Coronavirus Ag Rapid Test Cassette (swab) is an in vitro immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen in nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens directed directly from individuals suspected of COVID-19 from their health service provider within the first 10 days of the onset of symptoms. It is intended to aid in the rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV02 infections.

The new coronaviruses belong to the β genus. COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infectious disease. Currently, individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 are the main source of transmission; asymptomatic carriers are also known as a source of transmission. Based on current epidemiological information, the incubation period can last from 1 to 14 days, while the average time before symptoms occur is approximately 5 days. Symptoms include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle or muscle aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea
