Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly announced today that close contacts of people with Covid-19 can expect to start receiving rapid antigen tests from tomorrow.

The tests are less accurate than PCR tests, but can be taken at home if a contact has no symptoms. Under the new system rolled out today, a close contact is eligible if they are both fully vaccinated and do not have symptoms.

In this case they will receive a call from a contact tracer who will arrange to have a package sent in the regular post to their home.

The package will contain five test kits, each consisting of a sterile swab, a pre-filled extraction tube with a dropper tip, and a test cassette.

‘Vax’ earns 2021 word of the year from Oxford English Dictionary
LONDON - In true COVID-19 pandemic fashion, Oxford English Dictionary has named "vax" as the 2021 word of the year. "When our lexicographers began digging into our English language corpus data it quickly became apparent that vax was a particularly striking term," Oxford Languages said on its website. According to Oxford Languages, vax— a derivative of vaccine— was a relatively low-key word at the beginning of the year. But by September, it was over 72 times more frequent in the English language than a year ago.
