In an effort to curb the Corona epidemic in the United States, the Pentagon has exceptionally granted a French laboratory the right to have a rapid examination in the US market for coronavirus detection throughout the health crisis caused by the epidemic.
One of the advantages of the new medical examination is that it is easy to use through a "smear from the nasopharynx" and reveals infection with the virus within 45 minutes, according to what was announced by the French "Piomerio" laboratories group.
The new test, called "BioFire Covid-19", was developed with the support of the Pentagon, which will receive its first quantity, after which it becomes available in the American market, and then in the international market "when the regulatory authorities allow this."
The company confirms that this marketing permit in the U.S. is temporary, as it was granted in accordance with emergency procedures.
It notes that it is increasing its production capacity in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the western United States, in order to reach a "maximum" production capacity of test boxes "within a few weeks".
This is the second corona virus detection test kit developed by the "BioMerio" group.
The efficacy of the SARS Cov-2 R-Gene test "in real time" in France was verified by the National Respiratory Virus Reference Center, which praised it.
A test produced in France should soon obtain a permit to market it in the European Union and put it on the world market.
