  You need to take a rapid antigen test for travel seriously if you are planning to travel abroad very soon. When a communicable disease outbreak begins, the ideal response is for public health officials to start testing for it early. This leads to quick identification of cases, quick treatment for those people as well as immediate isolation to prevent spread. Early testing can also help identify anyone who came into contact with infected people so they too can be quickly treated. While we are obviously not in that ideal situation with Covid-19, testing is still critical. Most countries still require you to show a fit to fly covid test before you can be allowed to enter them, which makes testing very crucial. Testing is crucial of course to help treat, isolate or hospitalize people who are infected. Testing also is important in the bigger public health picture on mitigation efforts, helping investigators characterize the prevalence, spread and contagiousness of the disease. ...

Amplifying RNA is important because it helps to make even small traces of the Covid-19 virus visible in the test sample. Even if you have a small trace of the virus in your system, the PCR test will detect it. The PCR test does not alter your genetic material (DNA) in any way, and your test provider is not able to do anything with your DNA besides tell if you are positive with Covid-19. It is more reliable and accurate because of testing the specific genetic material of the virus, eliminating the interference from other viruses. Even though a PCR test is the preferred method of detecting Covid-19, it is not always the easiest test to get. PCR tests should be done by a health care provider, and they do not ...
