    covid rapid antigen test on top of medical masks

    If you want to stock up on rapid Covid-19 tests (e.g. close contacts of local cases need to undergo multiple RATs during home quarantine), here’s where you can buy at-home Covid tests in Hong Kong (RT-PCR and RAT). If you’re not sure what kit to buy, refer to these lists from the Department of Health, European Commission, and U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

    Note: At the time of writing, many of the online stores have sold out of their online stock, but the situation is changing rapidly and stock may become available online or in physical stores.

    What to do if your test comes back positive?

    Results from RATs are generally seen as preliminary as they are less accurate than PCR tests. If you test positive for Covid-19 and exhibit serious symptoms, the government recommends that instead of immediately going to a public hospital, you should contact Accident & Emergency services to undergo deep throat saliva testing.

    If you test positive and exhibit mild or no symptoms, contact the Center for Health Protection (2477 2772), who may advise you to go for a supplementary test near your home or stay put and wait for further instruction.
