Researchers at Virginia Tech are developing a portable air sampling device that could detect the presence of COVID-19 in the air within 15 minutes, allowing individuals to make informed decisions before entering public spaces. The device aims to provide a consumer-ready solution for detecting potentially harmful levels of the virus, with the goal of integrating it into everyday items for ease of use.
