Dozens of Israeli scientists are poised to leave on an El Al plane on Thursday night to New Delhi, bringing with them sophisticated supplies, and are to meet with about 100 of their Indian counterparts over the coming days.

The two teams will conduct wide-scale testing using advanced technology, including techniques that are expected to allow the diagnosis of the coronavirus within a minute. The joint project was the product of three phone calls held between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.

Some of the tests will be conducted in large-scale facilities on thousands of people, using a range of devices, including a nebulizer and a voice-recognition diagnostic tool. The various methods are designed to detect the virus almost instantaneously using bodily indicators that don't require blood tests or a serological analysis, which take much more time to analyze.
