Just posted online - could these tests be NCYT?
"NYC CAN ISSUE 50,000 COVID-19 TESTS PER DAY: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio holds a briefing on the COVID-19 outbreaks as the city enters Phase Four of reopening. Yesterday de Blasio said that NYC has the capacity to test up to 50,000 New Yorkers a day for COVID-19. ‘This is the number we’ve been wanting to get to for quite a while,’ de Blasio told reporters. ‘We’ll now have that capacity.’ The mayor added that the timeline for test results should also be quicker, citing that the median turnaround time in the city is about two days. However city health officials explained that this number can vary depending on the commercial laboratory the tests are sent to, as some have been significantly backed up from greater demand. Contrary to Pres. Trump's claim that more testing equals more cases, New York State is doing the most tests in the nation but has one of the lowest rates of new cases."
