The National Task Force continues to work with the Department of Health on the possible adoption of Antigen Test to supplement and facilitate people movement in the new normal.
The results of the pilot test in Baguio City is still for the evaluation of the DOH team task to examine its adoption.
This statement is issued to clarify the earlier statements of the NTF Spokesperson made during the Kapihan sa Manila Bay which may have been understood as an end to the possible adoption of the said testing protocol.
There are many antigen test kits in the market and the recent pilot was specific to a few of these which remain for evaluation. The FDA stands ready too in reviewing new types of COVID19 test as they come.
