Hi I have questions regarding novel corona virus. There is a campaign in my village where they are checking villagers by taking sample from there nose and declaring them positive and negative in 10 minutes. Doctor team in village is advanced or it is some kind of scam? Because the positive people are like we are happy and healthy. If it's true than why do we need rt pcr?

What test are they perfroming recently there is test called feluda whihc gives results in minutes so if the test is feluda test then it is possible and for feluda also it will take 30 min. So if feluda test it may be possible rapid antigen test also takes 30 min to 1 hr time but its sensitivity is less. So if you have any other queries do contact me.
