Rapid diagnostic tests instead of PCR tests for the diagnosis of COVID-19
23rd February 2022
Please note that the health care does not take a rapid diagnosis test for those without symptoms or those who for some reason wish to get a sample, they are advised to take a self-test/home test.
Those with symptoms can order a rapid diagnosis test through Heilsuvera or from private companies for confirmation if they want to have the diagnosis recorded in the medical record or need a certificate of infection caused by Covid-19.
Those who test positive on a rapid diagnostic test are not required to stay in isolation, but nevertheless it is recommended by the epidemic prevention authorities that people stay in isolation for 5 days.
