'Inappropriate use' of antigen tests causing concern, says Holohan

David Rock, Chief Executive of RocDoc, displays a negative result on a Healgen Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Test at RocDoc's testing facility in the Blue Car Park of Dublin Airport for hauliers bound for France. The company have announced additional drive-thru testing services at Cork and Shannon Airports for hauliers arriving in cars.

The public is not using antigen tests in the correct way, the chief medical officer (CMO) says.

Speaking on Newstalk this morning, Dr Tony Holohan said that one in five adults has used a rapid test in the last week and that there was a "high level of inappropriate use" of the tests.
