The coronavirus pandemic continues in full force as new cases continue to be reported and people continue to test positive. Due to the lack of testing available, companies are rushing to create coronavirus testing kits. Unfortunately, scam artists and fraudulent companies have already began selling and distributing fake coronavirus testing kits.
Fortunately, there is a company that will soon be releasing coronavirus test sample kits under the regulations outlined by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). This coronavirus testing kit will only provide the ability for you to send a coronavirus test sample and not tell you whether you have coronavirus or not. The company producing the coronavirus test sample kit is at-home lab testing startup Everlywell.
Company Background
According to the official company website, Everlywell is a health and wellness company that provides at-home lab testing kits as well as digital results within a few couple of days. The testing kits provide samples to lab partners which offer a variety of tests including STDs, thyroid, and now coronavirus. The company was once featured on ABC’s popular “Shark Tank” show. Everlywell is based in Austin, Texas. The company test kits come with kit registration information for physician review, easy-to-follow instructions, and pre-paid return shipping.
How Will the Coronavirus Test Sample Kits Work and Cost?
Prices for the coronavirus test sample kits by Everlywell will cost $135. The coronavirus testing experience will include an overnight sample delivery and an infectious disease sample collection and shipping materials to safely ship your sample, using official coronavirus COVID-19 guidelines set by the CDC as well as by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Digital results will be provided to all users within a couple of days and individuals with positive results will be offered a consultation with an independent board-certified physician from PWNHealth. Any positive coronavirus test results will be notified to all mandated federal and state reporting agencies.
When Will the Test Sample Kits be Available?
The coronavirus test sample kits will be available starting Monday, March 23. To start, Everlywell says it will have 30,000 coronavirus test sample kits ready but intends to reach capacity for a quarter of a million people weekly in the coming weeks. The tests themselves are all conducted at certified private laboratories, with results reviewed by board-certified physicians for accuracy.
Will Results Be Accurate?
A Techcrunch journalist reached out to Everlywell and the company responded by saying their at-home collection methods have been validated by various peer-reviewed medical studies.
Due to the lack of testing currently available in the United States, many medical experts have been for use of home test kits to increase the number of collected tests and also lower the risk of medical staff contracting the virus
