Intervention(s)
Group 1: Potential study participants will be invited through phone calls by the Rhine-Neckar Health Department if they are a suspect of a COVID-19 infection and will be tested in the drive-in. In the drive-in, potential study participants are asked whether they would be willing to participate voluntarily in the validation of a new antigen test in addition to the standard PCR test and if this is the case, a further swab is taken from the study participants after signing the consent form. This swab is not used for clinical diagnosis and is only used for validation of the antigen test.
Primary Outcome(s)

Secondary Outcome(s)
1. Time to proficiency, implementation issues, design related issues at POC

2. Point estimates of sensitivity and specificity of index test, with 95% confidence intervals, using an RT-PCR reference standard
