An emergency use authorization was granted by federal health authorities for the first coronavirus test that relies on saliva samples. It’s a breakthrough in coronavirus testing. The test was developed by Rutgers’ RUCDR Infinite Biologics and its collaborators, Spectrum Solutions and Accurate Diagnostic Labs.
Rutgers University announced Monday that the FDA quickly authorized the tests which can expand testing options. A key bonus is that the test also reduces risks of infection for health care workers.
By summer, if not already, there will probably be more tests "out there" for this coronavirus as there are for just about any other disease. A side benefit of that is that creating tests for other corona viruses will be made "easier" and quicker.
