Abstract

SARS-CoV-2-antigen-testing has been proposed as a 'game changing' tool to interrupt infection chains. Thereby European strategies focused on two pillars, namely rapid antigen tests conducted by health care experts and/or trained personal and socalled self-tests. Here, evidence is provided that these assays have a weak performance even under laboratory conditions. (C) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
