Coronavirus outbreak: Health official tells Congress that COVID-19 testing "failing" in U.S. | FULL

The top U.S. official on infectious diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said on Thursday during his testimony to Congress that people cannot get tests for the deadly coronavirus easily and the U.S. testing system is not meeting the country's needs.

"The system is not really geared to what we need right now... That is failing. Let's admit it," Fauci said. "The idea of anybody getting it easily the way people in other countries are doing it, we're not set up for that. Do I think we should be? Yes. But we're not."

Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Dr. Robert Redfield continued their third day of testimony about coronavirus preparedness and response to the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S.
