Roche on Monday said it has begun to ship its Covid-19 tests to laboratories across the U.S., which will allow them to begin testing patients.

Roche said it began shipping the first allotment of 400,000 test kits on Friday.

The company also said it "plans to ship an additional 400,000 tests per week to the laboratory-testing sites across the nation that are set up to run the test immediately under the guidelines of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Emergency Use Authorization."
