Reports of the Genrui false positives come as the Irish Pharmacy Union has warned that there will be a shortage of Covid-19 antigen tests in the country this week as further stocks are awaited.

An investigation has been launched following reports of false positive results from Genrui Covid antigen tests.

The Health Products Regulatory Agency (HPRA) has said it is following up with the manufacturer of the test to investigate the matter.
