MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) remains COVID-19-free based on the results of rapid and antigen tests conducted on its employees recently by LabX Corp. If someone tested positive in the rapid test, [the standard course of action] is to make them undergo the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test,” Lao said. “LabX was chosen because they introduced the antigen tests, which automatically confirms within 15 minutes if the antibodies are COVID-related,” Lao added.
