UK regulator approves 20-second coronavirus test which could be used in airports and sports venues
In the latest technological step forward, a COVID-19 test that takes just seconds has been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
The Virolens test, made by British start-up iAbra and TT Electronics, uses swabs of saliva and trials have shown it is highly accurate.
Trials indicated the test has 98.1% sensitivity, meaning it returns few false negatives, and 99.7% specificity, meaning few false positives.
It was trialled at Heathrow Airport and will now be launching with immediate effect, rolling out further in the coming months.
