Covid Home Test Kits
A Covid home test kit is a diagnostic tool that allows individuals to test for the presence of the Covid-19 virus from the comfort of their own homes. These kits typically involve collecting a sample (such as nasal swab or saliva) and using a testing device to detect the presence of viral antigens or genetic material.
Covid home test kits have become increasingly popular due to their convenience, affordability, and ability to provide rapid results. They have played a significant role in the fight against the pandemic by enabling widespread testing and early detection of infections. One key historical development in the realm of Covid home test kits was the authorization of the first over-the-counter Covid-19 antigen test by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in late 2020.
