The UK requires that the test meets the following performance standards: ≥97% specificity, ≥80% sensitivity at viral loads above 100,000 copies/ml. This could include tests such as: ·     a nucleic acid test, including a RT-PCR test ·     a LAMP test ·     an antigen test, such as an LFD (lateral flow device) test
