No more waiting in long queues, spending hours and waiting for days to get the Covid test results. A Pune=based company has come up with self-use rapid antigen test to identify Covid. The test kit is indigenously developed and costs just Rs 250. What more? These tests are approved by the Indian Council of Medical Research.
According to the company which has developed these kits, the test will take just two minutes and the results would be known in just 15 minutes. The process is quite easy and there will be a manual to help people do the test on themselves. The product is developed by Mylab Discovery Solutions. The kit will be hitting the market from next week. The makers said that the test kit is not a biohazard and can be safely disposed of. A disposal bag would be provided along with the kit to enable the user to safely dispose it of.
The ICMR has suggested that the users should take a photograph of the result and keep it for future reference. But, if a person with the Covid symptoms tests negative, it is advised that she should go for the RTPCR test.
