CORONAVIRUS | The Health Ministry is going to embark on mass testing soon to detect Covid-19 cases among the population, the Health Ministry announced today.
The kits are produced by SD Biosensor Inc, and detects antigens found on the virus that causes Covid-19. Noor Hisham said tests have found them to have high sensitivity and specificity. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction tests, which are regarded as the 'gold standard' for early diagnosis of Covid-19, has similar issues.
However, the ministry had decided not to procure the test kits after they were found to have low sensitivity for detecting Covid-19.
