The FDA has authorized the first home COVID-19 test and will be available over-the-counter without a prescription.
The kit, from the Australian-based company Ellume, uses a nasal swab and a digital analyzer that connects to a smartphone app via Bluetooth. Results can be delivered in as little as 20 minutes with about 96 percent accuracy.
You will be able to purchase the Ellume COVID-19 Home Test begin in January at a cost of $30 or less.
