Looks like it's a RT-PCR. How different are their primers compared to the IDT sets (https://www.idtdna.com/pages/landing/coronavirus-research-reagents https://www.idtdna.com/pages/landing/coronavirus-research-re...)?
There are also a couple of papers on biorxiv with primers for RT-LAMP tests, which should be much faster, easier to perform than RT-PCR. And it requires non-sophisticated equipment.
It all comes down to the false negative rates though.
