FDA Commissioner Hahn said the new policies would help address 'urgent public health concerns by helping to expand the number and variety of diagnostic tests, as well as available testing capabilities in health care settings, and reference and commercial laboratories.'
Restrictions on coronavirus testing were somewhat relaxed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration according to a Monday statement by FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn.
"We believe the unprecedented policy set forth in today's updated guidance, which addresses laboratories and commercial manufacturers, will help address these urgent public health concerns by helping to expand the number and variety of diagnostic tests, as well as available testing capabilities in health care settings, and reference and commercial laboratories," Hahn wrote Monday.
Laboratories in New York are already reporting to the New York State Department of Health, but the FDA's announcement expands that to all states impacted by coronavirus. FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn announced new regulations designed to create easier access to coronavirus testing on Monday.Washington Governor Jay Inslee issued an emergency proclamation Monday to close dine-in restaurants, bars, theaters, gyms and other public gathering places. Inslee's restrictions did not apply to grocery stores, child care or daycare facilities, or restaurants who provide food for take out or delivery.
