A CDC lab contamination massively delayed the production of coronavirus test kits, report says
found that cross-contamination in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention central laboratory caused a month-long delay in the production and distribution of test kits for the novel coronavirus.
States have struggled to weigh the next steps in coronavirus response measures without tests amid more than two months of a nationwide delay.
Officials from the Food and Drug Administration concluded that the CDC violated its own laboratory standards in its production process, exposing them to contamination, the Post reported. Scientists told the Post that the proximity of chemical mixtures and synthetic coronavirus material in the same lab space where the kits were being assembled deviated from accepted procedures.
