Challenges brought on by the coronavirus that face private labs include difficulty increasing capacity and delays in test results that can top a week — especially in hard-hit areas like New York and South Florida.
. Many directed patients who did not meet the state's definition of high-risk cases qualifying for public testing to ask their doctors about testing at private labs. Few had clear criteria for what kind of samples should be sent to private labs or knowledge about how long private lab testing might take.
Colorado's can process 800 samples a day, but it has a"surge capacity" of 2,000 samples a day if 24/7 testing is needed. It is receiving only 200 to 300 samples a day. Those 12 labs can now perform more than 35,000 COVID-19 tests daily. But getting the samples from thousands of doctors' offices to the labs is a complex operation involving 3,700 couriers and more than 20 planes, according to the company.
