THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The Coronavirus disease, more commonly referred to as COVID-19, belongs to the family of acute respiratory diseases. It is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It brings on severe, lethal symptoms, especially in those with compromised health. The world was caught completely unaware and unprepared for the outbreak of this pandemic.
COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease, infecting over 581 million people worldwide. There are 23.3 million confirmed cases and mortality of over 185,000 individuals in the UK alone, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The British Government has taken immediate steps to vaccinate the entire populace to mitigate the deaths caused by this disease. However, the virus can still infect even vaccinated people and cause irreparable damage to their bodies.
People are advised to get tested as soon as they experience symptoms similar to the flu and other respiratory infections. People who have come in contact with individuals exhibiting flu-like symptoms are also suggested to get tested or self-tested. These are preventative measures to stop the spread of the virus.
The National Health Service (NHS) found that one out of three people is asymptomatic, meaning one person out of three individuals is carrying the COVID-19 virus but does not display symptoms. These are the individuals who are prone to spreading the disease unknowingly. Hence, early testing and detection are crucial.

The Healgen antigen test kit is highly recommended by the UK Government for its fast and accurate results. It has undergone evaluations, achieving high accuracy after testing samples from numerous COVID-19 patients.
The British government wants the entire populace to order lateral flow COVID-19 test kits and perform a self-test after they suspect a possible COVID-19 infection or contact. On the government’s website, they are offering free test kits to eligible individuals. If you are not eligible, purchase your Healgen rapid COVID-19 antigen self-test to ensure your safety.
COVID-19 LIFE CYCLE AND WHEN TO GET TESTED
The World Health Organization disseminated its findings regarding the life cycle of the coronavirus. This information is crucial in determining the average period when people should get tested to achieve accurate results.
The SARS-CoV-2 strain is not the typical virus made up of DNA. Its genome is made of RNA, similar to Hepatitis C, which belongs to the type of infections that are persistent and may cause long-term consequences. The virus affects cells in various organs of the body and leaves destruction in its wake months or even years after infection.
COVID-19 spreads through air and droplet transmission. When an infected person sneezes, coughs, spits, or blows his/her nose, tiny droplets containing the virus are released into the air and the surroundings. The virus can survive hours or even days on surfaces in the environment until it can latch on to a new host.
People who come in contact with these virus-carrying droplets are in immediate danger of contracting the disease. It can enter the body through inhalation, through the mouth, or through the eyes. Once it has entered a new host, the RNA virus will travel further into the body to incubate.
Persons newly infected with COVID-19 do not exhibit symptoms immediately. On average, the virus takes 5 to 6 days to incubate and reproduce in the host’s body. It may even take 14 days to complete its reproduction. Any tests cannot detect the infection at this early stage due to the virus staying inside the body and only in small amounts.
After the incubation period, the virus now sets off to infect other cells in the host body. This is when the infected person will start to exhibit signs of infection. The usual symptoms observed include fever, fatigue, body aches, shortness of breath, dry cough, sore throat, and loss of taste and/or smell.
When a person has started experiencing the effects of the disease, this is the perfect time to perform a COVID lateral flow test. The virus has already multiplied in number and spread in the host’s body. It can now be easily detected with rapid tests.
It is advised that possibly infected persons isolate themselves from other individuals to prevent the virus from spreading. After confirming with a COVID test kit, the patient must follow the guidelines to keep themselves and others safe.
For persons experiencing flu-like symptoms, the test should be done at least two days after the onset of symptoms. This is the period when the virus is present in high amounts and is highly contagious.
Antigens are present in the upper respiratory tract, which can be taken for samples and get detected in a COVID lateral flow test. It is extracted by inserting a cotton swab through the nostril and collecting samples of the cell lining.
Once the sample has been taken from the patient, it is prepared in a solution and then introduced to the test cassette. The test will detect the presence of the virus proteins in the sample.
It only takes 15 minutes for the Healgen antigen test kit to show the results. Follow this guide in interpreting the result of your test.
- If the cassette displays a single line in the control line (C-Line), then the result is negative.
- Conversely, if the test shows two lines, both the test line (T-Line) and control (C-Line) lines, then the patient is positive for COVID-19.
- If the test line (T-Line) is present, the test is considered invalid.
Most COVID tests require medical expertise to perform. However, Healgen’s rapid test kits are no longer necessary. It is CE marked, meaning testing can be done by anyone at their home.

Healgen’s COVID-19 testing kit is an excellent lateral flow antigen test that is highly sensitive just as FlowFlex COVID-19 test. One in every three patients infected with the coronavirus is thought to be asymptomatic yet infectious. Healgen lateral flow tests identify and limit the spread of disease among healthy people.
In lateral flow testing, a swab is used to collect a sample from the nostril and then mixed in with the buffer solution. Droplets of the prepared sample are put into the sample well of a lateral flow cassette. The viral fragments then move through the pad within the device. The fragments will attach to the labelled antibodies, and this will appear as a colour on the test line (T-Line) if the virus is found.
In addition to that, unlabelled antibodies appear as a control line (C-Line) to demonstrate that the test was successful. In the first week up to the third week after infection, the Healgen test looks for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.
The COVID-19 antigen test (swab) by Healgen does not distinguish between SARS-CoV and the more recent SARS-CoV-2.
