The city of Detroit will be the first to have specific test kits that could have results in minutes.
Normally, the swab tests take days to yield results.
Testing with these kits begin today but only for Detroit police, first responders and bus drivers. Instead of waiting days to get results to find out if you have the coronavirus — you get results in 15 minutes.
And the interesting thing about these test kits is that they can show positive results even before someone shows symptoms.
“Detroit will be the first city in the country to use the 15 minute testing," said Mayor Mike Duggan.
Waiting for any health test result can be nerve-wrecking, but when it comes to coronavirus — knowing if you’re infected can help save lives while protecting others.
