## Notice

Community testing uses rapid lateral flow devices as a means to help identify those people who are infected and potentially infectious but asymptomatic and therefore unaware that they might be spreading the disease. The testing of asymptomatic people picks up positive cases, so that we can support isolation and trace their contacts and ultimately prevent transmission to others. Identifying infectious individuals early and isolating them can significantly reduce transmission of the virus and break transmission chains.
