The SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen test should be performed by a healthcare professional in a laboratory or Point of Care setting at all times. The healthcare provider should feel qualified and competent to administer the test and to communicate the results of the test to the person being tested. The result of the test should be interpreted by the health care professional and could be influenced by the quality of the collection and the clinical and epidemiological context of the person being tested. The healthcare provider will, if possible, process the results of the test in a digital solution to contribute to the overview of the spread of COVID-19 in the Netherlands.
