IIRC On the radio the other day an expert on Covid testing said

that LFT's are looking for proteins that are created by the Covid infection which is different to the PCR. The PCR tests are also magnified which is why its more accurate. I guess all strains of Covid would produce these proteins?

The expert did also say, if you have symptoms then don't bother with an LFT, go straight away and get a PCR
