Testing plays a very important role in dealing with coronavirus as it identifies people who are carrying the virus, both those who are ill and those who aren't exhibiting any symptoms. Once people are aware that they are infected, they can take the proper measures to avoid others getting exposed to the virus. In this paper we have mentioned various testing methods and how traditional testing can lead to an increase in the spread of the virus, ultimately making the entire situation worse. Our goal is to promote at-home testing. We have explained the benefits of adopting at home testing. We have also explained the process of how we can achieve this goal.
