The Bill Gates Foundation will founding a home-testing kits program for coronavirus, The Seattle Times reports.
“Testing for the novel coronavirus will get a huge boost in the coming weeks as a project funded by Bill Gates and his foundation begins offering home-testing kits that will allow people to swab their noses and send the samples back for analysis,” the material says.

“People can fill out a questionnaire, after the system will work. If their symptoms do not change, they may request a test kit that will be delivered to their residence within two hours. Smears will be collected and delivered to the laboratory for processing,” the article says
Gates Foundation has allocated about USD 100 million to fight the coronavirus outbreak.
