The Newfoundland COVID-19 & Flu A/B Combo Rapid Test is designed for self-testing at home to help detect respiratory infections that cause symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue, or body aches.

This combination test allows you to check for multiple infections at once using a single swab. While convenient, results should be interpreted alongside symptoms and clinical advice where needed.
This test is for screening purposes and does not replace professional medical diagnosis.
It detects COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) and Influenza A and B viruses using one nasal swab sample.
It is designed for home self-testing by adults. Children should only be tested with adult supervision following the instructions provided.
Insert the sterile swab gently into the nostril as instructed, rotate it to collect the sample, and process it in the test solution before applying drops to the test cassette.
Results typically appear within about 15 minutes after completing the test procedure.
Positive result: Viral antigens were detected. Follow public health guidance and seek medical advice if needed.
Negative result: No viral antigens were detected at the time of testing, but infection may still be present if tested early.
No test is 100% accurate. False negatives can occur if testing too early or if the sample is not collected correctly.
Follow current public health advice and seek medical guidance if symptoms worsen or you are at higher risk of complications.
Testing is recommended if you develop symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, fatigue, or body aches, or after known exposure to someone with respiratory infection.
If symptoms are severe, persistent, or you test positive and are at higher risk (e.g., elderly, pregnant, underlying conditions), contact a healthcare professional.
