After the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) approved its at-home Covid-19 test kit ‘CoviSelf’, officials of Pune’s Mylab have said that the test takes two minutes and the result appears in 15 minutes, adding that any adult can easily use this kit to test themselves.
Director of Mylab Discovery Solutions Sujeet Jain said, "It takes 2 minutes to conduct test & 15 minutes to get a result. It will be available by end of next week in more than seven lakh pharmacies and our online pharmacy partners across India. Our target is to reach 90% pin code in India."
In an advisory on the kit, the ICMR however warned against indiscriminate home testing using Rapid Antigen Tests, and said that only individuals showing symptoms and immediate contacts of laboratory-confirmed positive Covid-19 cases should use this test.
