Boiron Covid Self-Test

Boiron COVID 19 Antigenic Self-Test is a nasal test to detect SARS-CoV-2 to carry out yourself. COVID-19 is an acute infectious disease of the respiratory tract caused by a virus which is transmitted very easily, particularly through droplets of saliva, when speaking, coughing or sneezing; by infected hands or by aerosols (particles even finer than droplets, coming from the nose or mouth).
COVID-19 is at the origin of the pandemic which gave rise to barrier gestures. However, despite the precautions taken, you may still experience symptoms of COVID. To be sure, protect yourself and others in order to reduce the risk of a pandemic, it is preferable to carry out an antigen self-test.
What are the advantages of the Boiron Covid Self-Test?
This nasal antigen self-test for SARS-CoV-2 screening makes it easier to screen for COVID-19. From the first symptoms (fever, fatigue, dry cough, loss of taste or smell, etc.) Boiron's COVID 19 antigenic self-test allows you to determine at home, and wherever you are, whether you are a carrier of the virus. This helps prevent its spread upstream and protects your loved ones in the event of contamination. You can also use it if you are asymptomatic, but have been in contact with an infected person.

Using a simple nasal swab, the self-test can determine the presence or absence of the SARS-CoV-2 antigen. In the event of a positive test, the infection can be confirmed by a doctor. A negative test does not completely rule out infection, especially in the presence of symptoms of the disease.

Interpretation of the results of the Boiron COVID 19 antigen test
After 15 minutes:

If no control line (C) appears, the test did not work and is not considered valid.
If two lines appear: one for the control line (C) and one for the test line (T), this means that SARS-CoV-2 has been detected. The test is positive. In this case, contact your doctor and continue to respect barrier gestures. It is advisable to carry out a PCR test to confirm the result.
If only the control line (C) appears, SARS-CoV-2 has not been detected or the virus concentration is not sufficient. If the test is negative, but the symptoms persist, perform an RT-PCR test and continue to respect barrier gestures.

And for the immune system and the body's defenses, think about Boiron Immuno+ capsules.
