Abbott at-home COVID test accuracy refers to the ability of the Abbott BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test to correctly identify COVID-19 infections in individuals who self-administer the test at home. The test is designed to detect the presence of viral antigens, which are proteins found on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus that causes COVID-19.
The Abbott at-home COVID test is an important tool for managing the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides individuals with a convenient and affordable way to test themselves for COVID-19 in the comfort of their own homes. The test is also highly accurate, with studies showing that it can correctly identify over 95% of COVID-19 infections. This makes it a valuable tool for screening individuals for COVID-19, especially in settings where access to traditional PCR testing is limited.
