Separately, the SEC has filed charges against Applied BioSciences Corp, which said it had begun offering and shipping finger-prick COVID-19 tests to the general public, when in fact the tests could only be administered in consultation with a medical professional, the statement said.

In the case of Applied BioSciences, the SEC said the company had violated antifraud provisions of federal securities laws, seeking injunctive relief and civil penalties.
