We unfortunately had something similar over here. Link Coronavirus. Breton company develops "ultra-rapid" test for Covid-19 This strip test will allow, from a drop of blood, to identify, in 15 minutes, the specific antibodies produced by the body" "This is the first ultra-rapid blood test manufactured and clinically validated in France" , as described by Dr Alain Calvo, director of development at NG Biotech. The test is CE marked. It is a self-validation that allows it to be marketed. It has mainly been evaluated by hospitals as well as by the Pasteur Institute.
