2/5 The current state of diagnostic testing for #Coronavirus is expanding rapidly/ widely- all 50 states now have testing capability. This will support the ability for practitioners to diagnose #COVID19 as community transmission occurs in some areas at this phase of the epidemic.
4/5 I understand the public’s concern. The entire response will be looked at for lessons learned- but now we must focus on the task at hand. Many good people are working 24/7 to ensure the American public will have the ability to get a #coronavirus test if your doctor orders it!
