HOUSTON, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the holiday season approaches, gatherings among family and friends are expected to increase the risk of respiratory virus transmission, including COVID-19 and influenza. In response, Healgen® Scientific highlights the Rapid Check® COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Test, a 3-in-1 at-home rapid test designed to help users quickly distinguish between COVID-19 and common flu viruses.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the upcoming 2025–2026 respiratory disease season is expected to bring a comparable level of hospitalizations for COVID-19, influenza, and RSV as last year’s peak. As public gatherings and family travel increase from Thanksgiving through New Year’s, the ability to accurately identify the source of symptoms at home has become more essential than ever for preventing family transmission and ensuring timely medical care.
“During peak respiratory seasons, identifying the cause of illness quickly is the first step to taking the right action,” said Dr. Bingliang Fang, CEO of Healgen Scientific. “Our combo rapid test addresses a critical gap in clinical diagnostics by providing a reliable and user-friendly solution for individuals to test themselves at home. Early diagnosis enables faster initiation of appropriate treatment, leading to improved health outcomes and reduced disease transmission.”
