The article does not even say what type of test it is, let alone who is making it or what its brand name is. There is nothing to work with here to even find out. And so, we have no clue to gauge how useful they are going to be.

The big question is: how accurate will they be?

No information on accuracy has been released by the Department of Health. The test does also test for influenza, which will be useful in the coming months.

They're not testing patients' DNA. The test obtains DNA produced by reverse transcription of viral RNA.
