Per Newsom, the state, in conjunction with the CDC, has it covered.

“We are currently in deep partnership with CDC on one overriding protocol that drives our principal focus right now and that’s testing, and the importance to increase our testing protocols and to have point of contact diagnostic testing as our top priority not just in the state of California, but I imagine all across the United States."

— Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday

Another case of unknown origin this time in Santa Clara County, so it’s here now.

From the Mercury News:
The El Camino nurse, who did not want to be identified, said staff were frustrated and worried about the lack of available tests from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as protective gear such as n 95 respirator masks to protect health care workers treating the sick. The nurse said a doctor and several emergency room staff have been quarantined.

“We’re in Silicon Valley, the richest economy in the world and we don’t have enough N 95 masks,” “It’s insanity. Everybody is worried about it. I’m just worried about containment. It’s so contagious.”

Nice to see Santa Clara Valley has its own testing ability, but now what? Health officials of course want to do tests for community surveillance, but who wants to pay for them? Who’s gonna pay for them? It sounds like maybe Santa Clara County?
