In case you missed it: You can now get tested for the coronavirus in the comfort of your own home.
This is great news, especially for people who donât have access to a testing site. Currently, these portable tests come in two flavors. The first is test-by-mail kits, which allow patients to swab their noses at home and mail them to a laboratory for a result in a day or two.
