A systematic review of the sensitivity and specificity of lateral flow devices in the detection of SARS-CoV-2

Background Lateral flow devices (LFDs) are viral antigen tests for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 that produce a rapid result, are inexpensive and easy to operate. They have been advocated for use by the World Health Organisation to help control outbreaks and break the chain of transmission of COVID-19...
