Government pushes antigen tests to confirm the spread of virus

Public health experts say antigen tests are unreliable and could lead to fresh outbreaks.

The Ministry of Health and Population has decided to conduct 300,000 to 500,000 antigen tests across the country’s major cities to confirm the spread of Covid-19 as the number of new infections continues to decline following the government decision to stop free tests and contact tracing since October 17.
