FDA Authorizes Test That Can Detect Coronavirus in 45 Minutes, To Be Shipped Beginning Next Week

The demand for more testing of COVID-19 has reached new levels from New York to California, and from Illinois to Florida. Tests have typically taken up to six hours to prove whether a patient is positive. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a new test that will allow tests to be finished in about 45 minutes.
Dr. David Persing, MD, Ph.D., the chief medical and technology officer at California-based Cepheid, said his company that manufactures the test hopes that doctors can get quicker facts with the new test.
"During this time of increased demand for hospital services, clinicians urgently need an on-demand diagnostic test for real-time management of patients being evaluated for admission to health-care facilities," Persing told CNN.
"An accurate test delivered close to the patient can be transformative—and help alleviate the pressure that the emergence of the 2019-nCoV outbreak has put on healthcare facilities that need to properly allocate their respiratory isolation resources."
As more people contract COVID-19, better known as coronavirus, states and large municipalities have called upon more testing of its residents to better quelch the virus, all while insisting residents to take s many precautions as possible.
