Abbott's latest product is a notable development as the U.S. attempts to build out Covid-19 testing capacity this fall — but for now, the FDA's authorization for the test is limited in scope . It can be used only within seven days of someone showing coronavirus symptoms and in consultation with a health-care provider, meaning it is not authorized to test presymptomatic people or those without symptoms.
