The government reminds that when using rapid antigen test kits, one should pay attention to and follow the manufacturer's instructions, conduct the test and read the results correctly, and take pictures immediately after reading the results for record.

Hands must be clean before and after the test, and non-essential supplies should be kept to a minimum in the sample collection area.

After testing, all components of the test kit need to be carefully wrapped, sealed and disposed of properly.
