  2. What’s happening with home testing? • Regulation removed from April 1st • No kits currently licensed • Licensing currently migrating from UK to EU • EU currently reassessing licensing of all in vitro diagnostic devices – may take many months • Licensing expected to require higher efficacy than US and inclusion of support info/contacts
