“#First rapid at-home COVID-19 test app<\/a>roved by FDA<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday approved the first rapid at-home COVID-19 test.<\/p>\n

The FDA granted emergency use<\/a> authorization to the 30-minute test kit from California-based manufacturer Lucira Health. The test is prescription-only and solely approved for those 14 and older.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new testing option is an important diagnostic advancement to address the pandemic and reduce the public burden of disease transmission,\u201d FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s action underscores the FDA\u2019s ongoing commitment to expand access to COVID-19 testing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The test works with just a couple of steps. First, users take a nasal swab, which they then place into a vial that plugs into a portable testing unit.<\/p>\n

Within 30 minutes, the device interprets the results and displays whether the person tested positive or negative for COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The FDA has authorized nearly 300 coronavirus tests to date. Previously, a handful allowed people to collect their own nasal or saliva sample at home, which they then shipped to a lab, usually having to wait days to get back their results.<\/p>\n

Experts say allowing people to test themselves at home will help reduce turnaround times and curb the possible spread of the virus to healthcare workers.<\/p>\n
