Rapid COVID tests are important & have their place but know their limitations. As I recommend, use them & often but do not always trust negative results. From this recent Swiss study thread: “Key message: Don't use a negative rapid test to abandon other measures!”.
#Omicron & #rapidtests - we have more preliminary data with retrospective testing of patient samples (all vaccine break-through). Will add to our preprint & update soon, but since it's important, see table here - confirming less reliability of negative results #SARSCoV2 #COVID19

"If your loved ones need you now, be there for them. Science will be waiting when you return." A researcher was finishing her #PhD when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. She writes about her experience in one of our top 2021 #ScienceWorkingLife essays:
