According to the report, a so-called home testing kit went viral on WeChat, with the seller claiming the result would be visible 15 minutes after adding a drop of blood from one's finger to the kit.
The product was recommended for office buildings and schools to test those returning and isolated at home who could not access a medical test at the hospital.
