Abstract excerpt
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a pandemic. Diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 has continuously been challenged due to several variants with diverse spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) protein mutations []. SARS-CoV-2 variant proliferation potentially affects N protein-targeted rapid antigen testing. In this study, rapid antigen and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) tests were...
