Cambridge biotech seeks OK for coronavirus test that delivers results in 15 minutes

A Cambridge biotech founded by researchers from MIT and Harvard University has developed a diagnostic test for COVID-19 that resembles an over-the-counter pregnancy test and delivers results in about 15 minutes. If the product made by E25Bio is reliable, it could make testing simple and faster, and ease the shortage of tests that public health officials say has accelerated the spread of disease in the United States. With testing so limited and slow, they say, many people unknowingly may have infected others, making containment more difficult. Boston Globe
