All kinds of companies are offering COVID-19 testing kits as COVID-19 testing is moving from hospitals to homes. In addition, Amazon now offers a COVID-19 test kit that you can purchase online.
An Amazon Test Kit, Right to Your Door
Amazon posted a blog post about its new COVID-19 testing kit. It’s easy to use: when you purchase a kit, it will arrive at your home with Amazon Prime shipping at no additional charge. Then, after you have used the swap to obtain a sample, you can send the Kit to Amazon’s laboratories.
Scientists will then test the Kit using RT-PCR. They will provide a report within 24 hours after the Kit arrives at the laboratory. The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention has designated RT-PCR as the gold standard. You can instantly get the latest updates over the internet once the results have been received.
These kits are currently only available for purchase and use in the US. The Kit costs $39.99 and is suitable for only one test. Anybody over 18 years old can order one even if they do not have a prescription or are experiencing any symptoms related to COVID-19.
Cem Sibay (Amazon’s vice president) spoke about how the COVID-19 Kit is the perfect combination of medical science, Amazon’s renowned service, and Amazon’s own.
Customers can access COVID-19 testing anytime and anywhere they want with the Amazon collection kit. Customers can feel more confident returning to work, travel, or everyday life with the test collection kit. It provides accurate and timely results that help them feel more secure.
This Kit is compliant with COVID-19 requirements for travel within the USA and select international locations, except Hawaii. Amazon’s Kit can be helpful for travelers who are concerned about symptoms.
When Amazon and Medicine Collide
COVID-19 is still being discussed. Both governments and companies are trying to make it easier for people to test for the virus at home. For example, Amazon plans to launch its Kit.
Amazon might be late to the party, unfortunately. DoorDash launched its COVID-19 kit delivery service in March 2021 to assist people with their health information.
