“This is really about a harm reduction approach. So no matter what the new restrictions will be, there will be some who will not change their behaviour and want to see their family and friends.

So rapid antigen testing can be used to ease people's anxiety about whether they have COVID. It's not going to go away very quickly, this pandemic, so people need to start to feel more confident in going about their daily lives.”
