WHO: 120M rapid COVID-19 tests to be provided to poorer countries

Some 120 million rapid diagnostic tests for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) will be made available to low- and middle-income countries over a period of six months and will be priced at a maximum of $5 per unit, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday.

The tests provide reliable results in just 15 minutes, the WHO's Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, told a news conference in Geneva. -- Reuters
