Covid-19 tests that give results in minutes to be rolled out across world
Tests for Covid-19 that show on-the-spot results in 15 to 30 minutes are about to be rolled out across the world
The initiative was launched in March by the WHO, the European commission, the Gates Foundation and the French government.
Germany has already ordered 20m tests and France and Switzerland are following suit.
While the tests will not pick up all cases, they could allow many infectious people to be identified before they have symptoms and go into quarantine.
Also in the partnership that has secured the deal are the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the Global Fund and Unitaid.
