COVID-19 diagnostic kit made in Portugal
The Institute of Molecular Medicine (IMM) of the University of Lisbon has created a full Coronavirus Diagnostic Kit, using reagents manufactured in Portugal and following the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO). The kits are already accredited and, if all goes well, will allow a higher number of tests per day. Initially, 300 tests per day are planned, then 500, but the goal is to soon reach 1,000. One test will cost about €30 with a wainting time for results of about two to three hours.
