The QuickVue test developed by San Diego-based diagnostic company Quidel will be used throughout Pitt County to allow residents to do at-home COVID testing. The test received emergency use authorization for at-home use with a prescription by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in March. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on March 31 that Pitt County would be one of two test sites to receive the test kits for county residents. Image courtesy: Quidel
