Scientist have designed a new low cost alternative to the PCR, that is just as efficient though takes less time to get a result which is done via the smartphone. It is called "Harmony COVID-19".
They are currently looking at supplying hospitals and clinics. Then in the second step, bring out home versions. The design was made to be as easy as self-home tests.
This has the potential of reducing the financial and time burden put onto the individual.
