Last week the CDC issued a notification titled “Lab Alert: Changes to CDC RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 Testing” via its Laboratory Outreach Communication System regarding COVID-19 testing and managed to confuse everyone in the process. In the statement, CDC reported that they were withdrawing their Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) request to the FDA for their CDC 2019-nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, and suggested anyone using this test switch to one of the many viable and FDA-approved alternatives. In short, there are a number of tests out on the market now with FDA authorization, and there really is no need to continue the application for this one particular test developed by the CDC.
