The FDA announced today that the CDC PCR test for COVID-19 has failed its full review.
Its Emergency Use Authorization has been REVOKED.

The test used in all the nursing homes in Washington and New York.
This was the ONLY test in use until May of 2020.
Not sure about this. This is not the only test. Seems the CDC is moving towards a combined influenza A/B and Covid 19 test...

The one referenced here only got its EUA last summer and was apparently mainly used in CDC labs, not commercial labs.
This shows the 2 CDC sponsored tests...
