Warns Consumers Against At-Home Coronavirus Tests |
|
The Food
and Drug Administration is warning people to avoid any at-home tests for
coronavirus, saying it hasnâ??t authorized any tests to be self-administered by
consumers. The agency said it has begun to see â??unauthorized fraudulent test
kits that are being marketed to test for Covid-19 in the home,â?? and that
fraudulent tests pose serious health risks. The FDA warning, issued late last
week, put the brakes on plans by some companies to supply Covid-19 tests to
consumers.
