Fall is here and is accompanied by allergies and the flu. However, for San Diegans and others with special permits who may enter the city, having the typical question "is it the flu or the coronavirus? will no longer be a problem.

That's because the San Diego company, Quidel Corp. has developed a rapid test that can identify strains of influenza A or B. The best thing is that you will be able to get the results in 15 minutes and with this you will get out of the confusion and go to rest at home if you have the flu, or treat yourself in time if the result shows that you have COVID-19.

Although they warn that the tests are not as accurate as those performed in a laboratory, they are reliable. Even the same company, which has all the necessary approvals to put its product on the market, is in charge of performing daily tests for athletes.

The way the test will be performed will be with a nasal swab that will obtain a mucus sample from the nose or throat. This procedure is very similar to the tests that take approximately 3 days to show results, however, they are much faster.

According to The San Diego Union-Tribune, Andrew Cooper, Raymond James' analyst highlighted that: "the product is the most important thing, since it serves as a tool for the company to meet the demands of the tests during the flu season".

Here is Quidel's page that will provide you with more information and if you require it, they will specify everything about costs and its operation.
