The record for test orders was December 22 at 64,000 tests, it said.
Vault spokeswoman Kate Brickman confirmed Vault is experiencing some delays in returning test results, in part because its lab partner experienced processing delays because of rising COVID-19 infection rates and staffing shortages due to illness.WHY COULDN’T I ORDER A TEST? “Typically when we launch an at-home program, there’s no cap at the very beginning as the program is getting up and running, and while we establish what the average daily demand and need is,” Brickman said.Brickman also explained why some people saw a prompt to enter their credit card information to pay $90 for what’s supposed to be a free test.
The lab doesn’t run sequencing tests for variants on most of the tests, state communicable disease service medical director Ed Lifshitz said at Monday’s briefing. But as part of the state’s and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s overall surveillance system, a portion of tests from all testing providers are sequenced for variants, he said., which also offers a Spanish language option.
