Amazon’s home COVID test is now available online with a 24- to 72-hour response time

Amazon is trying to make it easier for people to take the COVID-19 test in the comfort of their own homes.

The FDA-authorized test kit called Dxterity is now available on the technology company’s website.

A kit is currently available for $ 110, or you can get a pack of 10 for $ 1,000.

The box includes an empty saliva tube that you sent to a Los Angeles-based laboratory with prepaid shipping.

According to the Amazon website, the response time for the test results is 24 to 72 hours after receiving the sample.

Emergency use authorization for the test was given last month.

This is the first home saliva test to receive FDA emergency use authorization for symptomatic and asymptomatic tests.
