On Friday, Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche (RHHBY) announced it received emergency approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the use of its new diagnostic test for Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus that was first identified in China near the end of 2019.
More specifically, the test kit can be used to detect cells of the virus itself, which is classified as SARS-CoV-2, when samples are run through Roche's fully automated cobas 6800 and 8800 systems, which are already in frequent use throughout the world.
