The Cologne district government has warned of two corona rapid tests that have been illegally traded across the country. If not used by professionals, they could have “catastrophic consequences of infection.”

District government warns of false negative tests
The district government warned against the alleged safety through false negative tests in the case of misuse by lay people, especially before the next holidays. Nor can the risk of injury be ruled out.
According to the information, the tests were put into circulation by a company in North Rhine-Westphalia and can therefore be freely acquired by private customers without specialist knowledge.
Products “Covid-19 Ag Test” from manufacturer nal von minden GmbH and “blnk Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Antigen Rapid Test Cassette (Swab)” from manufacturer Hangzhou Realy Tech Co.
