Abbott Labs has entered the field of testing for the coronavirus. The FDA approved Abbott's test system on emergency basis. The test is claimed to deliver positive results in five minutes and negative results in 13 minutes. Abbot expects to start shipping on April 1. They can produce 50,000 test units a day. Combined with Abbott's 2000 RealTime system for coronavirus detection, the company claims it will produce about 5 million tests for the novel virus in April.
It's not the end of the pandemic as a kot more medical supplies are needed, such as
ventilators and personal protective gear for health workers, including masks.
