From days to minutes .. "revolutionary" technology contributes to encircling Corona

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a new examination of the emerging corona virus, revealing the presence of the disease or not during a period ranging between 45 minutes and a few hours at the latest, which contributes to surrounding the epidemic.

The new scanning system is called Cepheid Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2, and its devices will be available for use by the end of March, according to the US News Fox News.

The Food and Drug Administration said in a press statement: "The examination that we are passing today will be able to provide the Americans with results within hours, instead of days."

The Minister of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar, explained that the new scan tools will make things easier for those who need to take the new Corona virus test.

The developer, "Cevid", based in California, revealed that it will start shipping devices starting next week, noting that there is a significant increase in demand for these devices by health institutions in light of the current crisis.

According to "Fox News", the new screening mechanism is done by collecting the patient's biological sample with a swab from the nose, and then placed in a tube containing test reagents, and then placed in a device called GeneXpert, determines whether one was infected with the Corona virus or not. "Our automated systems do not require users to obtain specialized training to conduct the examination, they are able to work around the clock, seven days a week," company president Warren Cookmond said. It should be noted that a large number of people with this virus show symptoms only after a while, which makes it difficult for health authorities to monitor the spread of corona.
