One of the most popular companies in the world, decided to produce and sell on COVID-19 tests. Each person can order their own test kit, and the result will appear on the special diagnostic website.
Information from The Verge indicates that the tests that Amazon sells were originally used to test the company’s employees. Considering the number of people employed in the company, it is not surprising that Amazon decided to produce its own test. One infected person in the parcel packing hall could immobilize the department for several weeks.
Using Amazon’s test is very easy. It involves taking a nasal swab yourself at home. Then place it in a box with the prepaid return label provided. The swabs are sent to Amazon’s centralized laboratory. You can check the test result on the page after registering your kit.
People interested in performing Amazon brand tests can purchase it on their sales platform for $ 39.99. For US residents, overnight shipping is possible via Prime.
like many other big companies, Amazon has found a way to monetize covid-19. Previously, the company already sold products needed during a pandemic, such as masks, visors and disinfectants. Now it’s time for testing. In this way, they make it easier for people to access the products they need today, and at the same time it gives the company additional income.
In addition to its own test, the company also offers a COVID-19 test kit manufactured by DxTerity and a quick 10-minute test kit from Quidel.
