Pentagon officials said that troops in Afghanistan have enough tests for the Wuhan coronavirus, explaining the difference between testing and the machines needed to process the tests.

“I’m not aware of any lack of tests. I believe there’s been some concern about the fact that the equipment to run the tests, that specific machine, is not in Afghanistan and that’s true,” Joint Staff Surgeon of the Air Force Brig. Gen. Paul Friedrichs told reporters at the Pentagon on March 16.
