Response to media comment
Omega (AIM: ODX), the medical diagnostics company focused on CD4, infectious diseases and food intolerance, notes
the recent media comment on the AbC-19 Rapid Test and rejects the conclusions drawn on the performance of the test.
The fact remains that the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is satisfied with the performance of the test, as is the UK-RTC. Public Health England conducted its own evaluation at the DHSC's request, and the DHSC will continue to deploy the test
for
use in surveillance studies
. Accordingly, Omega does not believe the antibody testing opportunity through the UK-RTC has diminished.
Omega also welcomes the positive news on the progress of a viable vaccine and believes the need for COVID-19 antibody testing generally has not gone away and will continue for some considerable time.
