A portable Covid-19 test, which aims to diagnose the disease in 90 minutes, could make a "huge difference" in hospitals ahead of the winter battle against the disease, say experts.

The test, dubbed CovidNudge, has been shown to have over 94% sensitivity - the ability to correctly identify positive cases - and 100% specificity, the ability to correctly identify negative cases.

It was designed by DnaNudge, an Imperial College London spinout company, and can be performed by the patient's bedside, without requiring the use of a laboratory.

The process involves collecting nasal and throat swabs from patients and placing them on to a cartridge which goes into a shoebox-sized machine known as NudgeBox for analysis.

Looking to buy an electric car? Here’s why they may be harder to find

COVID-19 pandemic has pummelled Canada’s automobile industry but it’s the lack of supply that’s helping to short-circuit electric vehicle adoption across the country.Electric vehicle sales plunged along with gasoline-fuelled models in the second quarter of the year, when dealerships joined widespread lockdowns to prevent the virus’s spread. As the economy reopens, consumers are starting to return to auto showrooms — but finding an electric vehicle continues to be a problem, especially outside Quebec, British Columbia and Ontario.A series of roadblocks are contributing to the shortfall, including battery shortages and manufacturers prioritizing shipments to China and Europe rather than North America.
