Quote from The Sun: A NEW “game-changing” coronavirus swab test could tell if you have the bug within 15 minutes.
Developed by British scientists, the £1.50 tests works on saliva or blood and is able to detect particles of the coronavirus.
Project leader Stephen Bustin, Professor of molecular medicine at Anglia Ruskin University, is a leading expert in quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).
He said the throat and nose swab could give a "robust and reliable" response on whether a patient has the virus.
Prof Bustin said: "The test works on nucleic acid, so any biological sample will do. SARS is usually detected in nose or throat swabs.
"So that is what we have used for its validation. But it also works with saliva samples and would work with blood - although blood is not used for Covid testing."

A simple saliva test with results in 20 minutes, cheap and (so far) is 100% reliable.
Definitely a game changer.
