US labs await virus-testing kits promised by administration

Trump administration officials doubled down on their promise to deliver 1 million tests for the coronavirus this week as states reported limited testing supplies and federal lawmakers expressed doubts about the government's timeline. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told reporters Thursday that a private manufacturer authorized to make the tests expects to ship the kits to U.S. laboratories by week's end. The number of U.S. cases has grown rapidly in the last several days after more labs started testing and guidelines for eligibility were expanded.
