France's health regulator has given positive feedback to a saliva-based COVID-19 testing product, according to the companies Vogo and SkillCell who are involved in developing the product.
"On November 27th, 2020, France's Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) issued a favourable opinion on the usage and reimbursement of the EasyCOV test on symptomatic patients for whom nasal swabbing is impossible or difficult to perform," the companies said in a statement on Tuesday.
