This is a rapid test that does not require expensive machinery to run and the materials for it are relatively inexpensive. Results from the most accurate tests currently available take 24 hours or more to process and those tests are expensive for some hospitals and clinics, according to Beaumont Health. Lamb and Chancellor previously came up with a rapid Zika virus detection test about three years ago, Beaumont health officials said. Fauci said rapid testing and tracing are the keys to containing the coronavirus.
