Tests are then sent to UW medical virology laboratories for treatment. The lab says it can now perform between 6,000 and 8,000 tests a day and continues to increase capacity and will have no challenge for further testing.
However, UW Medicine reported that the national increase in COVID cases had also increased the application for testing and the strain on some of its supplies.
At the beginning of the pandemic, swabs and fluid were scarce to store the virus in tubes at control sites. They now have difficulty ordering all the reagents they want in the labs, as well as getting enough pipette tips, which are used to move the samples.
“Each of these reagents is used lately all over the world. Many of them have been moved to states where the need is most urgent,” said Geoffery Biard, acting director of the Department of Medicine and Laboratory Pathology at the UW School of Medicine.
Still, Biard says they plan to increase capacity to about 10,000 per day until the end of August.
The Covid cell verification van from UW Medicine was first used in the Rainier Beach community at high school. Now, with the city’s new check site, this cell van will be able to provide simple access to check in some other community that needs it. The precise location is still being determined.
