On the topic of the 10 minute tests that EK was claiming as a groundbreaking initiative, the WHO has just dismissed such tests as being ineffective.
“What the use of these tests will do will measure the level of antibodies. It’s a response that the body has a week or two later after they’ve been infected with this virus,” she (Dr Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit) said at a news conference at WHO’s Geneva headquarters. “Right now, we have no evidence that the use of a serological test can show that an individual is immune or protected from reinfection.”
WHO warning: No evidence that antibody tests can show coronavirus immunity
