PITTSBURGH, Pa. (WPXI) — UPMC has developed a test for the novel coronavirus, hospital officials announced Saturday. The health system will use this test to diagnose select, symptomatic cases. The health system plans to rapidly increase capacity at its central laboratory and, if there is a need, could test hundreds of patients per week in the near future, filling a critical gap before other commercial tests come online. UPMC will begin directing patients with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 to a specimen collection site in Pittsburgh’s South Side neighborhood on Tuesday. The site is not open to the general public. People who show up without an appointment, will not be tested. Patients must have a referral. Patients who are tested will get a diagnosis in hours, not days. So far, 300 they’ve tested over 300 samples of patients with cold symptoms. No one has tested positive. UPMC says they’ve worked around the clock to develop their test and create the collection site.
