CLEAN : India to roll out quick and cheap coronavirus paper test

The video discusses a visual detection method for COVID-19 using CRISPR CAS 9 technology on paper strips. This method is suitable for low-resource areas, especially in rural India, and aims to improve testing accessibility. The importance of testing in micro containment and new areas is highlighted. Efforts are underway to develop a prototype that doesn't require a PCR machine, enabling point-of-care testing.

What are the current limitations of the PCR machine in the testing process?

What future developments are being pursued to improve the testing method?
