It is of course generally understood that if we could test everyone daily (or even a large section of people regularly), it could allow the virus to be contained without such widespread distancing and shutdown measures. > This test gives results in ten minutes using a small amount of saliva which is taken into a disposable tube and then run through a scanner. > We’re planning to start operating the first scanner within a month. If all goes well, there will be millions of scanners deployed by this fall, ensuring that every school and essential business can reopen while remaining safe and virus-free.
