Description
Most of the antigen tests detect a different part of the virus than the spike protein that is more heavily mutated in Omicron. The commonly used PCR tests amplify multiple virus genes, 2 of the 3 used still work well for Omicron, the third one usually drops out - a quick and dirty read-out for suspect samples that are then usually sequenced. // Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test said that it should NOT be used as a diagnostic tool and a positive result is NOT a case. </s><s> This is because of the large number of false positive results. </s><s> Each positive result requires much further detailed investigation before being confirmed.
Examples
1) Some of us do everything we can to travel safely and protect others, and put a great deal of thought into what we are doing. Although not required by Italy, as I am vaccinated and had done a PCR test before departing Canada for Italy in October, I also voluntarily did a five day self-isolation and another PCR test upon arrival, as I did not want to take any risks with others.
2) I travelled yesterday from Zürich to the USA, well prepared and with all documentation including a PCR test taken less than 24 hours before departure. </s><s> A cursory check of my PCR statement by a check in agent of the airline was the SOLE review if my eligibility to travel
