How to Interpret the result of the Flowflex Antigen Self Test

POSITIVE: Two lines will appear at C and T. If there’s a fade line at T, take that you are suspected positive for Covid-19. Please update your mySejahtera profile status and head over to a hospital / clinic nearby to get a PCR test immediately. Suggest to also get your close contact screened using the home test kit as well.

NEGATIVE: One line appears at C.

INVALID: No line is appearing for both C and T or it only appears in T. There are multiple reasons including insufficient samples of saliva, mixed up of procedure, too quick to test/waited too long to drip the mixed reagent into the test kit, or it could also be a faulty test kit. Please try another kit following the exact guide again.
