Abstract
On March 11th, 2020, COVID-19 was declared a worldwide pandemic. Publicly available testing has lagged, and tech entrepreneurs have quickly volunteered to fill this gap. Over the last two decades, genetic testing ordered outside of a clinic and without the involvement of a physician has been a way for the average individual to get genetic testing. In this commentary, we discuss the lessons learned from this parallel case from genetics and suggest regulatory caution in establishing direct-to-consumer COVID testing.
