We performed a comparison study by testing nasopharyngeal samples with RT-qPCR and antigen rapid test. Amongst the 106 positive RT-qPCR samples, 32 were detected by the rapid antigen test, given an overall sensitivity of 30.2%. All the samples detected positive with the antigen rapid tests were also positive with RT-qPCR. The aim of this study was to assess the performances of COVID-19 Ag Respi-Strip as a frontline testing in comparison to molecular technique. In the ongoing pandemic context of COVID-19, diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 is crucial in order to limit the spread of the virus as well as appropriately manage infected patients.	./cache/cord-314829-tmgmqtjq.txt	./txt/cord-314829-tmgmqtjq.txt
