In the past few weeks, as coronavirus cases have surged in many states, the demand for testing in the U.S. has soared — surpassing capacity and creating a new testing crisis.

“It’s terrifying, and clearly an evidence of a failure of the system,” said Dr. Morgan Katz, an infectious disease expert at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Early in the nation’s outbreak, testing posed a huge problem, as supplies fell far short and officials raced to understand how to best handle the virus. Since then, the country has vastly ramped up its testing capability, conducting nearly 15 million tests in June, about 3 times as many as it had in April. Currently, many cities are lacking sufficient capacity for coronavirus testing.

Now, a combination of factors is fueling the problem in many cities: a shortage of certain supplies, backlogs at laboratories that process the tests, and skyrocketing growth of the virus as cases climb in almost 40 states and the nation approaches a grim new milestone of 3 million total cases.
