Health Ministry should address public concerns about Covid-19 self-test kits efficacy


The Health Ministry should respond immediately to concerns expressed by the public about the efficacy of Covid-19 self-test kits. Any delay in doing so will have repercussions that will be difficult to control, especially as we prepare to reopen our borders to some international travellers.

False-negative results from these tests could mean that infected people will be moving about freely, thereby causing another spike in the number of Covid-19 cases.
