WHO: Fastest and cheapest coronavirus test created

Now the test results must wait several hours.

The new test will help control the increase in incidence, especially in poor countries suffering from a shortage of medical personnel and laboratories, said the WHO chief.

The new rapid test created for the coronavirus gives a result in 15-30 minutes and costs around $ 5 (around 140 UAH). This was announced by the director general of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adanom Ghebreyesus, reported on Tuesday, September 29, the British Radio and Television Corporation of the BBC.

The new test will help control the increase in incidence, especially in poor countries suffering from a shortage of medical personnel and laboratories, said the WHO chief.

Now the test results must wait several hours.

The tests are produced by Abbott and SD Biosensor. They will produce 120 million tests a year for 133 poor countries. The production will be funded by the Bill Gates Charitable Foundation.

We will remember, China has started mass vaccination against COVID-19. Tens of thousands of people have already been vaccinated, although the safety and efficacy of the vaccine have not yet been proven.
