The corona pandemic continues to determine our lives. Relaxation, tightened measures, holidays only possible in some countries* - there is bad news almost every day that makes our spirits sink even lower. The vaccination campaign has major problems, the rapid tests are not sufficiently available. The demand for the rapid antigen tests is huge. In addition to some supermarkets and discounters, Amazon is now also offering a rapid corona test. In addition to the rapid tests, PCR tests are the more accurate method of testing for COVID-19 infection. While in Bavaria all citizens can have themselves tested free of charge, this offer does not exist in the other federal states. You can now
order a home PCR test
on Amazon
. We explain how this works.
Corona tests: What is the difference between PCR tests and antigen tests?
PCR tests
are the "gold standard" among corona tests.
These very accurate tests are usually performed by medical personnel.
The PCR tests are now also available from Amazon.
PCR tests are suitable for testing people for SARS-CoV-2 or for verifying a positive antigen rapid test.
Rapid antigen tests
owe their name to the rapid results.
In contrast to the PCR tests, a test result is available within a few minutes.
However, this is not as accurate as a PCR test.
If the result is positive, an additional PCR test is therefore recommended to be on the safe side.
Rapid antigen tests are currently being used in hospitals as well as retirement and nursing homes to regularly test residents and staff.
