The new offerings, called<br \/>\n<b><i>At-home (Virtual) COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test <\/i><\/b>and<b><i> HKIA COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test<\/i><\/b>, mark another key milestone for Project Screen by Prenetics, a one-stop global COVID-19 testing provider that offers convenient services for rapid antigen test (RAT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test in Hong Kong. Going forward, Hong Kong travellers can choose to conduct pre-departure testing from the comfort of their homes, or at the Hong Kong International Airport Prenetics service counter. Currently, negative RAT results issued by Prenetics are accepted by more than 17 countries or regions<a href=\"\" name=\"_ftnref1\" rel=\"sponsored\">[1]<\/a> around the world.<\/p>\n<p>As international travel for both business and leisure gradually resume, most countries have eased their travel restrictions to accept certified pre-departure RAT results. The new<br \/>\n<b><i>At-home (Virtual) COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test <\/i><\/b>can be done using a self-administered nasal swab which is analysed using Flowflex\u2122. Travelers can take the test at home under a virtually supervised video call with a trained professional to get certified digital test reports before their flight. Certified results will be available within 60 minutes after uploading the test results.\n<\/p>\n<p>For travellers who plan to arrive at the airport earlier, the<br \/>\n<b><i>HKIA COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test <\/i><\/b>can be conducted at the Prenetics service counter located in Arrival Hall A of the Hong Kong International Airport. Travelers can receive test results within 30 minutes via SMS and email. The nasal swab collection will be performed on-site by a trained health professional and analysed using Flowflex\u2122.\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The launch of the new pre-departure RAT service is a key milestone for Project Screen by Prenetics and strengthens our position to be &#8220;Your Go-To COVID-19 Testing Solution&#8221; in Hong Kong. While being able to travel again makes us all feel excited and hopeful about the future, it can be stressful to plan international journeys given the frequent changes in travel restrictions. With the new online and offline pre-departure RAT service powered by Flowflex\u2122, travellers can take control of where they conduct pre-departure COVID-19 tests, enjoying greater convenience and peace of mind,&#8221;<b> <\/b>said<b> Mr. Danny Yeung, CEO and Co-Founder, Prenetics<\/b>.\n<\/p>\n<p>To date, the Flowflex\u2122 COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test has been the preferred at-home RAT in Hong Kong, with more than<br \/>\n<b>12 million<\/b> units sold in the market over the past three months. The Flowflex\u2122 COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test is approved by more than 40 governments globally, including Hong Kong, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, Australia, and many more. It is also the most accurate RAT in the market based on two global independent validation studies<a href=\"\" name=\"_ftnref2\" rel=\"sponsored\">[2]<\/a><a href=\"\" name=\"_ftnref3\" rel=\"sponsored\">[3]<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16.5px;\"> <\/span>comparing it against 53 accredited antigen kits.
