​ANTIGEN RAPID TEST (ART)

One of the preparations for Brunei Darussalam to move into the Endemic Phase is to expand the use of Antigen Rapid Test (ART) among the community in this country. The use of ART is encouraged in offices in the Government and private sector, as well individuals, as a way of surveillance or screening for the COVID-19 infection. In addition, there is also a requirement for some individuals to have a confirmed ART result such as to enter certain premises and as a condition of entering some foreign countries. In this regard, the Ministry of Health has appointed several companies to open ART Certification Centres to conduct ART testing for any individual who requires certified ART test results.

• COVID-19 Rapid Tests Kits (ART) authorised for used in Brunei Darussalam
