"If you have respiratory symptoms as we head towards winter and flu season,
could it be COVID or the flu? Or something else entirely?

Now, we have a range of home tests that can distinguish between flu and COVID
with one swab. They use technology you might be used to. They’re rapid antigen
tests or RATs.

Here’s what you need to know about the tests, why they might be useful, and
what they don’t tell us."
