University of Arizona Makes COVID-19 Test Kits, With Thousands More Expected

The Arizona Republic

UArizona researchers have produced additional COVID-19 test kits over the past week to be distributed to the university's campus health service, the Pima County Health Department, and potentially Banner Health. It is estimated that the university has the capacity to supply the county with 1,000 kits per week for several months, as long as money doesn't run out and there aren't any labor shortages. The additional tests come amid a significant shortage of kits nationally that has limited the ability to test patients for the virus.
