Influensautbruddet er i gang – test influensa, covid og RS hjemme

The flu outbreak is already underway in several parts of Norway, and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI) expects increased transmission in the weeks ahead. At the same time, covid-19, RSV and other respiratory infections are circulating. A multiplex home test lets you test for influenza, covid and RSV at home – with results in minutes.

Multiple viruses – similar symptoms

Fever, cough, body aches and a stuffy nose can signal influenza, covid-19, RSV or a common cold. When multiple viruses are circulating at the same time and the symptoms overlap, it becomes difficult to know what is wrong – and early home testing becomes valuable.

One home test for influenza, covid and RS

NordicDx offers a multiplex rapid test that detects four respiratory viruses: covid-19, influenza A, influenza B and RSV. Results are available within 15 minutes, with clear reading per virus and instructions for safe home use.

Who benefits most from the test?

  • Families with young children
  • Kindergarten and healthcare staff
  • Vulnerable groups and their carers
  • Workplaces that want to reduce uncertainty around sick leave

How to use the test at home

  1. Take a nasal sample with the swab provided
  2. Mix the sample in the buffer solution
  3. Drip onto the test cassette
  4. Read the result after 15 minutes
