New rapid coronavirus diagnostic test can provide results in as little as 5 minutes
The new test will be available at urgent care clinics and doctors offices
A new novel coronavirustest may make diagnosing COVID-19 as easy as the flu. The new point-of-care test, having just received an emergency-use authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), will be able to deliver results in as little as five minutes, according to the manufacturer.
This test from medical device company Abbott, which begins shipping April 1, may soon be available at your local urgent care clinic.
"This is going to be the fastest molecular point-of-care test to date," said John Frels, Ph.D., Abbott’s vice president of research and development, in an interview with ABC News. "It generates a positive result in 5 minutes and negative results in 13 minutes."
