Rapid COVID tests will be available from Nov 1. These kits act like the pregnancy sticks sold now. They allow people to get almost instant results, which is a significant advantage. Now, people often need to wait three hours to get tested at a public test facility. I had to go at 8 a.m. to have my daughter tested before they opened to get a spot.
Plus, if they get tested there, they are publically listed if they have COVID. Some people do not want that.
I expect it will be a good product here, as US sales for these 15-minute tests are soaring. So why not here? One guy at work told me that he and his partner are soon going to a wedding, so he wants two to test themselves.
So why not check it out? The cheapest supply I have found is here. I do not know how good they are.
It is a shame that this product took so long to appear, as we could have used it when COVID-19 first started here.
