Nov. 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued an emergency authorization for the first rapid coronavirus test that can be administered at home.

The agency announced the authorization for the all-in-one test kit late Tuesday in response to a request by Kelly Lewis Brezoczky of Lucira Health, the California-based company that developed the test.

While there have been other products approved for collecting samples at home, the Lucira product is the first to be fully self-administered and to provide results without a physician's assistance.

The company's website said the test is intended to cost under $50 and is designed to provide results within 30 minutes.
