63 different coronavirus tests allowed in the United States

The United States authorities have issued permission to use 63 different test systems to detect the coronavirus SARS- CoV -2, said Stephen Khan, head of the U.S. Food and Drug Quality Office, in a White House briefing. We have reviewed and granted permission for 63 test systems in an accelerated manner, he said. Khan explained that there are diagnostic and laboratory test systems, as well as antibody detection tests. He said about 400 companies in the United States are currently developing new test systems. According to the news agency, according to US Vice President Mike Pence, by April 25, about 5.1 million tests had been carried out in the United States to identify coronavirus of a new type. At the same time, he stressed that the increase in the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 is directly related to the increase in the number of tests carried out.
