Amazon’s home COVID test is now available online with a turnaround time of 24-72 hours

Amazon is trying to make it easier for people to get tested for COVID-19 from the comfort of their own home.

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

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

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

According to the Amazon website, the turnaround time for test results is between 24 and 72 hours after the sample is received.

Emergency use authorization for the test was given last month.

This is the first at-home saliva test to receive FDA emergency approval for symptomatic and asymptomatic testing.
