(CNN) - The Food and Drug Administration has authorized a COVID-19 test that can be used on anyone, including those without symptoms.The FDA reissued an emergency authorization for a LabCorp test after it proved it could detect the virus in asymptomatic people. The company can also test pooled samples of up to five swabs at a time.
The FDA says this broad screening could be a game changer in reopening schools and businesses.
The test is only available through a prescription and only a LabCorp test kit or a health provider can collect samples.
