"The problem is that the FDA views all of these tests as medical diagnostic tools, not as public health tools,” Mina says. He argues that President Biden or the FDA Commissioner should create a new type of regulation for public health tools like rapid testing; the CDC or NIH could potentially evaluate the tests. In his own research, Mina says that these tests have proven to be very accurate, with over 90% sensitivity to detect infectious people, and close to 100% sensitivity if the tests are done twice a week. The new study with Citi will provide more evidence of how the tests can help. (Out of the thousands of tests performed so far, there have been no false positives yet; for the purposes of the study, all positive COVID tests have been reconfirmed with PCR tests.)
