(WCBD) – MUSC announced on Thursday that they, like many other hospitals and testing facilities nationwide, are facing many obstacles regarding COVID-19 testing.MUSC identified four key issues, all of which can be summed up in two words: limited resources.

MUSC says that worldwide, “many labs are also dealing with lab personnel absences due to community-acquired COVID-19 illness.”Biomedical technicians, who repair lab instruments, are also in high demand and short supply. In sum, the ability to increase testing further is limited by personnel.”Finally, there is a “limited ability to rely on outside reference labs for additional testing.” MUSC says that many of these labs are no longer accepting samples because they are nearing capacity themselves.These issues put a strain on MUSC’s capacity to test. MUSC says that although their “goal is to maintain the quality, timeliness, and volume of testing needed…it is possible that one or all of these challenges may reduce [their] test volume capacity.”If that is the case, MUSC may be forced to make “temporary changes to the testing paradigm in order to conserve tests for those requiring hospitalization, health care workers, and first responders.”MUSC is reminding the public of the following:Thanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe Now&nbsp; &nbsp;Thanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe Now✕× Close Ad
