Operation Breathing space

Israeli and India with a multi-pronged mission, codenamed Operation Breathing Space to work with Indian authorities on the Covid-19 response.
India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Israel’s defence ministry research and development team are working together to develop four different kinds of rapid testing kit for Covid-19 which can give the result within 30 seconds.
The tests include an audio test, a breath test, thermal testing, and a polyamino test.
- In the audio test, a patient’s voice would be recorded and evaluated through artificial intelligence and machine learning.
- In the breath test the patient will blow into a tube that will detect the virus using terra-hertz (high frequency) waves.
- Thermal testing will enable identification of the virus in a saliva sample.
- Polyamino acids test seeks to isolate proteins related to Covid-19.
