RAPTOR-C19

RAPTOR-C19 is a research study to assess the accuracy of different rapid tests for COVID-19 for patients in the community. The question is whether rapid tests, which give results within minutes/hours, are as accurate as standard laboratory tests. Research will take place in GP surgeries or COVID-19 testing sites. Accurate rapid tests mean quicker decisions about patient care and self-isolation and so are key to our efforts to control COVID-19.
