COVID-19 TEST RESULTS COULD GET FASTER IN TENNESSEE

Tennessee Health Commissioner Lisa Piercey, M.D. says the state will get new tests, possibly by the end of this week. The new tests promise to get results back within an hour. That comes as good news considering the state says testing at some private labs is taking up to two weeks. At the state public health lab, the time frame is much better. They can get results within 24 to 36 hours, but that’s reserved for the most vulnerable patients, like the elderly and healthcare workers. The health commissioner says a large private lab in Tennessee is going to increase its capacity to process more tests. Some 32,000 Tennesseans have been tested for the coronavirus.
