California monitoring 8,400 for possible coronavirus but lacks 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.

China MOH_Kenya this is California. Nontest kit. How about us Kenya.....

$codx has test kits

They ordering test kits off Amazon or....

lookner

Will Donald Trump's disdain for California (which Hillary Clinton won in 2016) affect sound and prudent measures in this crisis? I remember his 'rake the forest' response to the Camp Fire. I'm expecting he wont.

Thoughts and prayers for California

MinSaludCol in Colombia said that this virus it's not dangerus

Hopefully Trump sends the test kits to his constituent states first.

Didn’t California prepare and buy the test kits in advance? Shocking that California Democrats are sopoorly prepared!!

No doubt he should have had enough test kits for every man, woman and child in storage somewhere for this specific virus strain... just in case

Gavin Newsome getting ahead on the blame game. He should have gathered masks and requested test kits from the CDC month’s ago.

'California officials said 33 people had tested positive for the virus there, but five had since left the state.'

Ridiculous

.... The mainstream media will do anything to try to destroy President Trump and his agenda momentum and question anything he does with bias and Malicethe mainstream media is the enemy of the people worldwide!

Leave it up to California to be blind sided with 8400 potential cases
