903

So far, there are nine brands that sell unauthorized tests that can be a health risk. 

Given the shortage of covid tests, you have surely seen ads on social networks about laboratories that offer them, some even at home.

But be careful, local authorities identified nine brands of rapid covid tests that are sold online and that are not authorized by the Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS).

In addition to being a money trap, the local Ministry of Health warned that they are a health risk.
Because they can be falsified or apocryphal tests and therefore their results are not reliable and give false negatives and those who do have the virus can spread it among their family and friends.

You can report the illegal sale of rapid tests through this page.

We leave you the list of unauthorized test brands. All have been marketed by Facebook.
