How did lateral flow tests perform with different COVID variants? Do they work equally well if people do or don't have symptoms? How much transmission might they stop? Read more here - https://t.co/EArj8eWQMs - based on national evaluations in England @ModMedMicro @bdi_oxford

Do COVID boosters or infection lead to higher & more sustained antibodies after a primary vaccine course? What about differences in protection from infection? Read our pre-print based on data from 150k people in the UK https://t.co/8sd8UrcDP5 @ModMedMicro @stat_sarah @pippa_matt

Has performance of COVID lateral flow tests changed over time, variants & vaccination roll-out? Short answer: they consistently pick up most infections, particularly those that transmit, but work best in people with symptoms & higher amounts of virus, see https://t.co/W54RLHIQVe
