Scientists at a university research center in Turkey have developed an ultra-rapid coronavirus test with 99% accuracy that can return results within 10 seconds.

The Diagnovir, developed by researchers at Bilkent University, is a diagnostic kit said to use nanotechnology to detect COVID-19 in a patient.

First, a swab is taken from the patient's mouth before being mixed with a solution and added to a pathogen detection chip.

Scientists say that it detects the presence of pathogens with high accuracy by receiving a fluorescent signal.
