Abstract

COVID-19 is a worldwide medical problem affecting majority of people with different age groups, where family medicine outpatient clinics is the first line in detecting and managing this medical issue, we tried to put our hands to explore the role of rapid antigent test  for covid 19 in family medicine outpatent clinic and its effectiveness.
