FREDERICK, Md. — The first company to make rapid take-home COVID-19 tests is now making them in Maryland.
A few months ago, it was nearly impossible to find an at-home COVID-19 test in stores across Maryland. Now, store shelves are stocked with boxes of test kits from different brands.
But it’s not just about COVID-19 at Ellume’s manufacturing plant In Frederick. The large manufacturing facility was built to support the federal government’s response to the current pandemic and future ones.
Hailed as a medical breakthrough a year ago, Ellume’s COVID-19 at-home test kits are rolling off a state-of-the-art assembly line in Frederick, which held its grand opening Thursday.
