According to experts, bringing an end to the pandemic
will require rapid screening of people attending large gatherings,
such as conferences and weddings. Even those who are asymptomatic
can still transmit COVID-19 to others, making it important to
identify and isolate them until they are no longer contagious. Now,
researchers reporting in ACS Nano have developed a prototype
“breathalyzer” that can sensitively and accurately diagnose
COVID-19, even in asymptomatic individuals, in less than five
minutes.
