A group of researchers have developed a unique facemask that can now run a quick test after being worn if the wearer is positive or negative of the novel coronavirus.

The mask that can be activated with the use of a button is the next new thing to hit the market.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, along with a few other researchers came up with this mask, where the result will be generated within a span of 90 minutes of wearing it.

It’s as simple as wearing the mask and pushing the button.

The biosensor mask, which is made of the most advanced technology, will read the RNA and DNA cells of a body.

This masks success will give a break-through to other garment manufacturers so they can use the technology to detect any virus after wearing them.
