The whole sample collection procedure can be completed in five minutes. The booth will be sanitized after each sample collection.
The project has been financed by the Roorkee Municipal Corporation.

आईआईटी रुड़की के प्रोफेसर कमल जैन ने दावा किया है कि उनके द्वारा 'कोरोना डिटेक्शन' नाम का ऐसा सॉफ्टवेयर तैयार किया गया है. जो महज़ 3 से 4 सेकंड यह बता देगा कि व्यक्ति कोरोना पॉजिटिव है या नेगेटिव. कोरोना टेस्ट करने के लिए व्यक्ति का एक्सरे सॉफ्टवेयर में अपलोड करना होगा. जिसके बाद ऐप यह बता देगा कि व्यक्ति को कोरोना वायरस है भी या नहीं.
