The delay could impede the U.S. government’s ability to detect scattered coronavirus cases before they snowball into larger outbreaks
Problems with a coronavirus test developed by the CDC have delayed the Trump administration's efforts to expand screening to state and local public health labs, more than two weeks after the FDA granted permission to distribute the CDC test nationwide.
The delay in establishing additional screening capacity could impede the U.S. government’s ability to detect scattered cases before they snowball into larger outbreaks, former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb told POLITICO. CDC has not told public health labs when it will distribute a second version of the diagnostic test, Wroblewski said. That has left many labs struggling to decide if it is worth continuing to pursue verification of the current version, because they will have to go through the process again once the CDC revises its testing procedure, she added.
