AMA provides COVID testing considerations for physicians and the public

The AMA created documents for physicians and the public which provide considerations for responsible use of limited COVID PCR testing resources. 

Limited test resources, coupled with overwhelming demand for PCR tests, has resulted in delayed test results nationwide. These documents are aimed at encouraging physicians and the public to be good stewards of limited resources by prioritizing PCR diagnostic testing services for those with a medical need, those with a known exposure to someone with COVID-19, those in need of pre-procedure testing, and health care workers.
