California monitoring 8,400 people for coronavirus, awaiting test kits
- California is monitoring more than 8,400 people for coronavirus symptoms after arrival on commercial flights, but the state lacks test kits and is being held back by federal testing rules, Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday.
“That is simply inadequate to do justice to the kind of testing we need,” Newsom said of the test kit shortage. The individual was not initially tested as she did not meet testing criteria laid out by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , according to a statement by UC Davis Medical Center, where she is being treated.
California officials said this protocol had to be expanded in light of the “inevitable” local spread within the United States.
