VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group - It may have its beginning for the UK travel industry, but there are signs of the end of using polymerase chain reaction, better known as the PCR test, to detect Covid-19. Mass testing is becoming a major burden, as European nations, such as Finland and Estonia are contemplating scrapping the test, while a top UK watchdog began an investigation back in August into the test's pricing and reliability. With new employee mandates in the US set to impact roughly 100 million Americans, it's worth looking at what testing options are out there beyond the PCR, which often takes days to return results. With the NIH investing $248.7 million in new testing technologies, as well as new options under review by the FDA and other bodies, it's worth looking at the market's response, including offerings from BioVaxys Technology Corp. (CSE:BIOV) (OTCQB:BVAXF), Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT), Becton, Dickinson and Company (NYSE:BDX), Quidel Corporation (NASDAQ:QDEL) and CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:CVS).
