Revised list of clinical laboratories conducting rapid antigen tests that meet the specifications of the Ministry of Health
The Ministry of Health, taking into account the recommendations of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), for the minimum specifications that the SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen tests must meet, has compiled a list of laboratories conducting tests in line with these specifications.
In addition, the Ministry of Health informs citizens that rapid antigen detection tests using saliva are currently being evaluated at European Union level by the member states, as there are still insufficient data from independent clinical studies and their diagnostic value has not been proven. Therefore, while the completion of the procedure and the issuance of guidelines by the ECDC are pending, the Ministry of Health cannot accept the result of the above tests at this stage.
The table below lists the private clinical laboratories which comply with the specifications for conducting rapid antigen tests:

It is recalled that people with a positive laboratory test result of a rapid antigen detection that has not been carried out by the mobile units of the Ministry of Health or a Private Clinical Laboratory included in the above list, should inform their Personal Doctor, in order to proceed with a referral for a molecular examination through the Public Health Clinics.
In any case, it is stressed that citizens with a positive antigen test result should self-isolate immediately and should follow the self-isolation instructions for confirmed COVID-19 cases. Further instructions will be given by the Epidemiological Supervisory Unit after receiving notification of the positive result by the clinical laboratory.
In cases of people who have a negative SARS-CoV-2 antigen test result but show symptoms of possible coronavirus infection, it is recommended that they contact their Personal Doctor to evaluate their case and arrange further investigation through the RT-PCR method.
In cases of people without symptoms and a negative SARS-CoV-2 antigen test result, it is stressed that they are not exempt from the risk of developing COVID-19 infection and should continue the strict application of individual protection measures and protocols.
It should be noted that according to the Quarantine Law Decree N.2, dated 8 January 2021, the maximum price for a rapid antigen test for COVID-19 detection is set at €20.
