Covid lateral flow tests don’t work as well on children, according to a new study.
A team of British and German scientists have pooled together results from 17 old studies, involving over 6,000 kids, to examine the efficacy of lateral flows in detecting Covid amongst young people.
Writing in the British Medical Journal, their study claims that the rapid kits were not as effective in youngsters and students, even as all secondary school students in Britain are encouraged to use them twice weekly.
