A point of care test kit uses a drop of blood from a finger prick to test for antibodies to COVID-19. The test kit contains a detection kit, the lancet, the disinfectant wipe, micropipette, cotton ball, and the reagent. The kit comes in a sealed plastic bag and also contains instructions. The only thing not included is the timer. This is a rapid test that takes between 2 to 10 minutes versus the nasal swab currently in widespread use that takes up to 72 hours or more for results.
