New simpler test for COVID-19 infection!

The scientists from the USA have invented a new and simpler testing procedure for confirming COVID-19 infection. The remarkable feature of this new simpler procedure is that it DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY CHEMICALS!
An article has been published about this in the US Science Journal ‘Binos Biology’.
Presently, this new method of collection of samples from the suspect patients and analysing their after-effects are being used widely. However, to conduct this test, a costly chemical is required as essential!
In this situation, the scientists pursued their research on a new method which does not require any chemical.
This research was undertaken using 215 samples taken and analysed on the after-effects test for COVID-19 and another 30 samples which had confirmed that there was no infection of COVID-19.
In this research, with the testing of the samples without coronavirus infection, 100% successful results were obtained.
On the samples where the COVID-19 infection had been confirmed, the results from the above new method of testing were 92% successful. This new testing method failed only in the instances where the samples contained too few coronavirus infection germs.
With this, confidence has now been acquired that coronavirus infection confirmation tests can be undertaken without using any chemicals!
In this method, the testing can be undertaken at reasonably very low expenses!
Further, the article published in the above journal mentions that this new method would indeed serve as a blessing especially in the areas where chemicals cannot be obtained easily!
