VOICED : Una empresa israelí crea prueba que detecta el coronavirus en 30 segundos

An Israeli startup, NanoScent, developed a rapid coronavirus test that detects the virus in 30 seconds by analyzing nasal odors. The test, which is still awaiting market authorization, connects to a mobile device and provides results quickly. It detects changes in nasal bacteria and the immune system's response to the virus. While showing 85% accuracy, it is not a replacement for lab tests but is intended for mass screening in public venues. The test's development comes as Israel faces a surge in COVID-19 cases post-lockdown.
