Coronavirus test shortages are breeding chaos at some hospitals. Sick patients and health care workers are going untested, they say.
Test results for COVID-19 illnesses among passengers and crew members could come as early as Friday.
“Myself and my colleagues have been working in the trenches in the ER, and we can’t get people tested,” said another doctor who works at a hospital in Downey. Both declined to be identified because they are not authorized to speak to the media. Amid the shortage, some healthcare workers also cast doubt on federal officials’ stringent approach to testing. One California nurse who was exposed to a confirmed coronavirus patient has symptoms and is in quarantine, but has not yet been tested for the virus by the CDC.“They said they would not test me because, if I were wearing the recommended protective equipment, then I wouldn’t have the coronavirus.
The CDC has not released information on how many Americans have been tested for COVID-19. The data was updated regularly on the agency’s website until this week when the figures were removed.
