Rapid Antigen Test
What is a Rapid Antigen Test?
• An easy-to-use test that looks for evidence of the COVID-19 virus.
• Results are available in 15 minutes and do not need to be confirmed by a PCR test.
• For testing at home, please refer to the instructions provided with the test, this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBBd4JRWTsg and the combined oral and nasal swabbing instructions (which may increase test sensitivity) ontariohealth.ca/RATinstructions.
Who Should Use a Rapid Antigen Test?
• People experiencing COVID-19 symptoms including one of:
• fever and/or chills;
• cough;
• shortness of breath;
• decrease or loss of taste or smell; OR
• Two or more of:
• runny nose/nasal congestion
• headache
• extreme fatigue
• sore throat
• muscle aches/joint pain
• gastrointestinal symptoms
(i.e. nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea)
• One-off testing (e.g., before a social gathering) by people not experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and without a known exposure is generally not recommended. If you choose to do this, complete it as close to the event time as possible and know that a negative result could be a false negative.
What Does My Test Result Mean?
Positive Result
It is highly likely that you have COVID-19.
• Self-isolate immediately for at least 5 days (if fully vaccinated or under 12 years old) or 10 days (if not fully vaccinated or immunocompromised) from when your symptoms started and until you have no fever and symptoms have been improving for 24 hours (or 48 hours if gastrointestinal symptoms), whichever is longer.
• If you live, work, attend, or volunteer in a highest risk setting1, let them know that you had a positive result and follow the direction you are given.
• Household members must self-isolate while you are self-isolating if they are under 18 and not fully vaccinated, 18 or older and have not received their booster or have not had COVID-19 in the last 90 days.
• Notify people that you have come into close contact with starting 48 hours before your symptoms developed and until you began to
self-isolate.
• If you are at high-risk, antiviral medication can help reduce severe outcomes if you access them within 5 days of symptoms starting. Visit ontario.ca/covidtreatment or call 811 for more information. Negative Result
• If you have symptoms, and your test is negative, you may still have COVID-19.
• Use another rapid antigen test 24-48 hours after your first negative test. If it is negative you are less likely to have COVID-19. Self-isolate until your symptoms are improving for at least 24 hours (or 48 hours if gastrointestinal symptoms).
Qu’est-ce qu’un test antigénique rapide?
• C’est un test facile à utiliser qui recherche des traces du virus de la COVID-19.
• Les résultats sont prêts en un quart d’heure et n’ont pas besoin d’être confirmés par un test PCR.
• Pour utiliser le test chez soi, veuillez consulter le mode d’emploi fourni avec la trousse, cette vidéo https://youtu.be/2A0Kih7wnIg et les instructions sur l’écouvillonnage combiné du nez et de la bouche (qui pourrait accroître la sensibilité du test) ontariohealth.ca/fr/instructionsTAR.
À qui les tests antigéniques rapides sont-ils destinés?
• Les gens présentant des symptômes de la COVID-19, notamment :
• fièvre ou frissons
• toux
• essoufflement
• diminution ou perte de l’odorat ou du goût
• deux ou plus des symptômes suivants :
• nez qui coule/congestion nasale
• mal de tête
• fatigue extrême
• mal de gorge
• courbatures/douleurs articulaires
• symptômes gastro-intestinaux (vomissements ou diarrhée)
• Les tests ponctuels (avant de se réunir avec des amis, par exemple) ne sont généralement pas recommandés pour les personnes ne présentant aucun symptôme de la COVID-19 et n’ayant pas d’exposition connue au virus. Cependant, si vous décidez d’utiliser un test rapide de cette façon, faites-le aussi près de la date que possible et sachez qu’un résultat négatif peut être
un faux résultat. Comment interpréter les résultats
Résultat positif
Il est fort probable que vous avez la COVID-19.
• Isolez-vous immédiatement pendant au moins 5 jours (sujets entièrement vaccinés ou de moins de 12 ans) ou 10 jours (sujets non entièrement vaccinés
ou immunodéprimés) à partir du moment où vos symptômes sont apparus et jusqu’à ce que vous n’ayez plus de fièvre et que vos symptômes s’atténuent
depuis 24 heures (ou 48 heures en cas de symptômes gastro-intestinaux), selon la durée la plus longue.
• Si vous vivez, travaillez, faites du bénévolat ou vous rendez dans un milieu à plus haut risque1, dites-leur que vous avez eu un résultat positif et suivez les
instructions qu’on vous donne.
• Les membres de votre ménage doivent s’isoler pendant que vous vous isolez s’ils ont moins de 18 ans et ne sont pas entièrement vaccinés, s’ils ont plus de
18 ans, mais n’ont pas reçu de dose de rappel, ou s’ils n’ont pas eu la COVID-19 dans les 90 derniers jours.
• Informez les gens avec lesquels vous avez été en contact étroit pendant les 48 heures avant l’apparition de vos symptômes et jusqu’à ce que vous commenciez à vous isoler.
• Si vous êtes un sujet à haut risque, un traitement antiviral peut contribuer à atténuer les résultats graves si vous le commencez dans les 5 jours après
l’apparition de symptômes. Consultez ontario.ca/ traitementanticovid ou téléphonez au 811 pour en savoir plus.
Résultat négatif
• Si vous présentez des symptômes, il se peut que vous ayez quand même la COVID-19, malgré un résultat de test négatif.
• Faites un autre test antigénique rapide dans les 24 à 48 heures après votre premier test négatif. Si le résultat est négatif, vous êtes moins susceptible d’avoir la COVID-19. Cependant, isolez-vous jusqu’à ce que vos symptômes s’atténuent depuis au moins 24 heures (ou 48 heures en cas de symptômes gastro-intestinaux).
