Even if you have been vaccinated, it’s still possible to carry the virus and pass it onto others and with this in mind, it’s still incredibly important to consider the value of testing and how this could save another person’s life or indeed your own.
Here at Bodyvie, we understand it can be a bit tricky to differentiate one type of Covid-19 test from another, with the number of brand names and types of tests being written about every day.
