Testing has been a wrench in America's response to the new coronavirus and researchers say there is an 'urgent public health need for rapid diagnostic tests.'
A new coronavirus test has the potential to produce results in about 40 minutes, at least six times faster than the test used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
For the test to be deemed positive, there must be a detection of both genes and a presumptive positive is if either gene is detected. Results are delivered on a lateral flow strip. The readout is similar to how an at-home pregnancy test works, so it's relatively easy to interpret.
