New York State got the go-ahead from the feds to perform its own
coronavirus testing “immediately,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Saturday.
“I spoke to Vice President Pence, I urged him
to approve New York State’s Coronavirus test — we just received word
that our test has been approved by the FDA,” Cuomo said in a statement.
Testing for the deadly bug, officially called COVID-19, will begin at Wadsworth Lab in Albany.
“This approval will expedite wait time and improve New York’s ability
to more effectively manage the Coronavirus situation as it unfolds,”
Cuomo added.
New York City is currently monitoring
one potential case of coronavirus, a person who recently traveled to
Italy. The news comes as the first American death from coronavirus was confirmed Saturday in Washington state.
