Coronavirus testing kits could be delivered to UK homes by Amazon with results being sent by text message within two days, it has been reported.
The Times reports the company is starting a pilot program "using Amazon logistics" which will deliver throat swabs that are picked up one hour after a sample has been taken.
Text messages will deliver the results, with the whole process aiming to wrap in less than 48 hours. The paper said the test was different from attempts to create a home test that shows antibodies to coronavirus.
A spokesman for the Department of Health and Social Care did not confirm the report and neither did Amazon's press office when contacted.
