(d) Regular Assessment Test

Answer: (b) Rapid Antigen Test

A rapid antigen test (RAT) is a quick diagnostic test that identifies the presence or absence of an antigen immediately at the point of care. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is often detected with it.

Rapid tests are a form of lateral flow test that detects protein, as opposed to other medical tests that detect antibodies or nucleic acid, and can be done in the lab or at the point of care. Rapid tests often produce a result in 5 to 30 minutes, involve little training or equipment, and save money.
