Tests for Covid

[Mike]

PCR or Lateral Flow tests, what is the difference?

PCR tests are checked in a laboratory and the lateral flow you
can do at home, for an instant result.

Does the methods and charges suggest that the lateral flow is
either inferior or no good at all?

The Government here have changed the "after you arrive home"
test, from lateral flow to PCR.
