The first test to detect 'active' Covid from a saliva swab rather than 'harmless viral fragments' is to be rolled out across the UK. The KnowNow antigen test mimics the surface of a human cell to identify the virus and only recognises 'infectious' or 'active' Covid. By comparison, PCR and lateral flows are susceptible to picking up 'harmless viral fragments' - meaning some people test positive and have to isolate despite not having the virus. The test is designed to mimic the experience of brushing your teeth rather than sticking a swab up the nose and swiping the back of the throat, and is more accurate than its predecessors. • Original Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic... • Original Video: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news... • Daily Mail Facebook: / dailymail • Daily Mail IG: / dailymail • Daily Mail Snap: / 8392137033 • Daily Mail Twitter: / mailonline • Daily Mail Pinterest: http://pinterest.co.uk/dailymail • Daily Mail Google+: https://plus.google.com/+DailyMail • Get the free Daily Mail mobile app: http://dailymail.co.uk/mobile
