The U.S. drug regulator has granted emergency use authorization to German health technology company Siemens Healthineers’ at-home COVID-19 tests, a move that will boost availability of tests pressured by rising infection cases.
The approval comes at a time when companies such as Walmart Inc., Walgreens Boots Alliance, and CVS Health Corp. have limited sales of at-home COVID-19 testing kits as demand surged owing to the swift spread of the new variants of the coronavirus in the country.
