Most Commonly Used COVID-19 Test in Los Angeles Prone to Inaccuracy, FDA Says

The test is made by the company Curative, which was hired to provide tens of thousands of tests at city and county sites throughout Los Angeles. The Food and Drug Administration says the test poses a “risk of false results, particularly false negative results."
