Until last week, all testing in the US was carried out exclusively by the CDC. FMTNews Virus
US commanders in places like South Korea and Japan also turned to local authorities for testing prior to this.
Those tests have resulted in a handful of confirmed cases including at least one US service member, officials say. Still, that is only a fraction of the US military’s laboratories, some of which are also working a potential vaccine and medicine to help the body fight the virus. The official noted that not all of the other laboratories have the equipment or trained staff to carry out the tests.
Globally, there have been over 96,500 cases and more than 3,300 deaths, according to a Reuters tally.
