The White House CCP virus response coordinator on March 23 announced that “breakthrough” self-swab tests will become available later this week, allowing Americans to test for the virus themselves.
Self-swab tests would allow people to collect their own samples using a nasal swab, while self-isolating in their homes. They or someone else would then take the sample to an authorized clinical or drive-through testing site and receive their results that same day, making the process simpler and possibly safer.
