For employers in need of ensuring that there are no employees infected with covid-19 in the workplace, antigen testing is offered. Antigen test is a quick test that after about 20 minutes shows if anyone in the staff carries the virus.
Reliability
The analysis of the antigen test for covid-19 meets more than 99.4% specificity, which shows the probability that the test detects the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The test also meets 93.3% sensitivity, which shows its accuracy.
Before sampling
Information for employees prior to sampling can be found here and on the employee page "For employees". It is important that the employee takes note of the information before sampling takes place.
This is how the sampling works
- The sample is taken with tops in the nose (nasopharyngeal sample) on employees without symptoms and is performed by a sampler from Previa.
- The sample is analyzed on site and answers are obtained after 15-30 minutes.
- Previa issues certificates of completed sampling. These certificates cannot be used as travel certificates.
- Process for follow-up of positive test results is determined before each assignment.
This is how the order works
