Israel may be first to deploy new 23-minute virus test, defense minister says

(Worthy News) – Israel will be the first country in the world to try out an experimental new coronavirus test that promises to deliver a diagnosis within 23 minutes, the defense minister said Sunday.

If the device proves successful, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said, it will allow the government to “reopen the economy and the education system.”

“An important update from the battle against the coronavirus,” Gantz tweeted on Sunday. “After months of work by the defense establishment, in the coming days the Biological Institute will receive quick-test kits that will provide an answer in 23 minutes.” [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
