The breath analysis will take place close by with the current obligatory COVID-19 antigen quick test. Also, the tests would be priced at between S$5-S$20 ($3.76-$15.03) each, contingent upon the number bought, said an organization agent.

The framework uses dispensable mouthpieces and intends to guarantee there is no cross-contamination. After blowing into it, the innovation evaluates the chemical compounds of the breath. It is to decide if an individual has the virus or not.

Any individual screened as positive must also go through a confirmatory polymerase chain reaction (PCR) COVID-19 swab test, the organization said.
