Quest Diagnostics, one of the companies performing a significant amount of the coronavirus testing in the U.S., said Monday that its average turnaround time for test results is at least seven days for most patients. The announcement illustrates how the spike in coronavirus cases is overwhelming the country’s testing capacity. The company said Monday that its average time to get coronavirus test results back is now “7 or more days†for everyone except the highest-priority patients, meaning people who are hospitalized or symptomatic health care workers.
