The peer-reviewed study looked at the results of more than 900,000 rapid antigen tests conducted over 537 workplaces in Canada between January and October 2021, comparing their results to concurrent PCR tests.

As Canadians rely ever-more heavily on rapid antigen tests to detect infection with COVID-19, there have been widely-raised concerns over the probability of false-positive test results. Canadian researchers have produced new data shedding some light on the rates of false positivity in rapid antigen tests when compared to PCR testing.
