LIST: Local testing locations that may experience COVID-19 test results delays

If you are getting tested for COVID-19 at testing sites that send your samples to Quest Diagnostics’ testing labs, you may experience a delay in getting your test results.

Quest Diagnostics says its average turnaround time for a COVID-19 rest has lengthened to “seven or more days” — decreasing the chance that asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic carriers will self-quarantine.

“Despite our rapid scaling up of capacity, soaring demand for COVID-19 molecular diagnostic tests across the United States is slowing the time in which we can provide test results.”

Neptune Beach and East Arlington Jim Fortuna Center city-run testing sites use Quest lab, as well as all Walmart and CareSpot Urgent care testing sites.

The American Clinical Laboratory Association is also struggling to keep up with the high demand for testing.

“We have made significant strides in expanding capacity, which has tripled since early April, and ACLA labs are now performing more than 300,000 tests each day.”

“In light of the ongoing spread of COVID-19 in states across the country, many labs are now receiving more test orders than they are able to process in a single day. We have urged ordering providers to prioritize testing for those most in need, especially hospitalized and symptomatic patients. That will help better manage demand for testing while labs continue to perform COVID-19 testing and increase their capacity, which will require adequate supplies and additional equipment.”
