Coronavirus is currently known as a worldwide pandemic and has been for the past 6 to 7 months with the UK going into lockdown as well as other countries around the world.

The massive reason why this virus was so hard to contain and to understand is due to the fact that this is virus is like the common cold and flu, therefore some people that contract the virus may think its nothing then give it to others when going around.

Another reason could be some people waiting for the testing to get back seen as though it could have taken up to 3 to 4 working days in some places, however, there has been a new way of analyzing people with the virus in a little under 90 minutes!

90 Minute tests could help a lot of cases move along and could help with the testing facilities to stop using swob testings. This is a huge development and a huge invention to help those who don’t know they have the virus.

“The performance was comparable, which is very reassuring when you’re trying to bring in a new technology, Many tests involve a trade-off between speed and accuracy, but this test manages to achieve both.” Said Prof Graham Cooke.

This has been said to not help with the test and trace programme which has currently been working well but this has said to not help as much as people might think.
