Federal germ warfare researchers have designed a “game-changer” coronavirus test that quickly identifies carriers of the deadly bug — before they become infectious, according to a new report.

The test, which emerged from a project set up by the US military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency aimed at rapid diagnosis of germ or chemical warfare poisoning, was quickly repurposed when the pandemic broke out — and now may be able to detect the virus’ presence as early as 24 hours after infection, the Guardian reported.

That’s several days before a carrier is considered capable of spreading the disease to others, according to the report. It’s also about four days before existing tests can detect COVID-19.

The breakthrough test is expected to be presented to the FDA for emergency use approval within a week.
