Sofia COVID testing
Does anyone do the Antigen COVID test on the Sofia? How do you deal with the negative results?
From package insert
Serial testing should be performed in individuals with negative results at least twice over three days (with 48 hours between tests) for symptomatic individuals and three times over five days (with at least 48 hours between tests) for asymptomatic individuals.
Thanks,
