Scientists are working on a breathalyzer test for COVID-19.

They say it will work similarly to an alcohol breathalyzer.

Only this one would be able to detect the virus.

The goal is to identify whether a person has COVID-19 even if they don't have symptoms.

Researchers believe they can make the COVID breathalyzer more than 90% accurate.
