As the French flock to self-tests before New Year’s Eve, are they effective at detecting the Omicron variant? Journalist Jihane Benzina gives details on the 8 p.m. set.

Self-tests are now available in supermarkets. But are they really effective? “Honestly, it’s still too early to tell. Two weeks ago, an English study told us that it detected Omicron as well as the other variants. And there, the Americans tell us that they are less efficient“, reports the journalist Jihane Benzina, present Friday, December 31 on the set of the 20 Hours.
