An easy-to-use breath test that can detect Covid-19 within a minute has received provisional authorisation from Singaporeâs Health Sciences Authority (HSA).
Developed by Breathonix Pte Ltd, a spin-off company from the National University of Singapore (NUS), this is the first breath analysis system to secure provisional authorisation in the country.
The testâBreFence Go Covid-19 Breath Test Systemâworks almost like a standard breathalyzer test that police officers use to identify drink and drive cases.
