A rapid COVID test, also known as a rapid antigen test or rapid diagnostic test (RDT), is designed to detect specific proteins from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. Unlike the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test, which detects the genetic material of the virus, rapid tests detect the presence of viral proteins, specifically the nucleocapsid protein or the spike protein.
