    Health services giant LabCorp will begin selling an at-home test for the COVID-19 virus after receiving emergency authorization from the Food and Drug Administration.

    Called Pixel, the test will cost $119.

    The test will include collection of specimens via nasal swabs.

    However, consumers will be able to buy the test only if recommended by a healthcare provider and after they have filled out a questionnaire.
