They found that people found infected in the PCR test with nasal swabs were also found infected in the swab test taken from the smartphone screen. The new method was reported on Tuesday in the journal E-Life. This method detected the presence of the virus on the smartphones of 81 to 100 percent of infected people, which could prove to be an accurate test.
It will take less than a minute to collect the samples, the
researchers said, under this method it takes less than a minute to collect the samples and it does not even require medical personnel. Rodrigo Young, of the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, said, “Like many, I was concerned about the social and economic impacts of the pandemic, especially in low-income countries.
Testing of corona will become easier
He said that this method will not only make the investigation of Covid-19 easy on a large scale, but it can also be used to prevent epidemics in future. A machine is being made by Diagnosis Biotech for testing under this method.
