  BBC: Coronavirus: False claims test kits for 'Covid-19' were sold in 2017. "A database of worldwide shipments of chemical supplies created in 2020, but going back to 2015, did refer to their use for 'Covid-19 kits'. The World Bank, one of the international organisations responsible for maintaining the list, says this was because these previously existing products are now being used for Covid-19 testing. The website has now been changed and a clarification issued."
