Amid the dozens of tests for Covid-19 to which the Food and Drug Administration has given emergency use authorizations, the agency said Tuesday that it had given the go-ahead for the first test to include an at-home sample collection option.
The FDA said it reissued the EUA it had given to LabCorp last month for its RT-PCR test to allow for collection of samples at home, using the company’s Pixel by LabCorp Covid-19 Test kit, as long as patients have a doctor’s order. The kits will become available in the coming weeks, the FDA said.
