UW Medicine develops diagnostic test for COVID-19

Mar 5, 2020

The UW Medicine Virology Lab went live with testing patient samples on Tuesday, March 3. Its scientists anticipate ramping up to be able to test 1,000 to 1,500 samples per day by the end of the week. The test will speed and expand testing of local cases and help to reduce the shortage of available tests.

Who can be tested? Only a patient’s physician or healthcare provider can order the test, based on the patient’s risk factors and symptoms, under guidance from the CDC and from the local and state health departments. People cannot refer themselves for testing. The test should not be the sole basis for decisions on managing a patient’s condition.
