With additional commercial and private labs coming online, the number of Californians getting tested for coronavirus has tripled.
About 66,800 tests have been completed so far, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said, about 39,000 more than Tuesday.
Results are still pending on more than 10,000 coronavirus tests, the governor said. As officials work to procure more, one company is promising results in just 10 minutes, another in 45 minutes.
A task force is working to vet those companies to ensure the state is not being taken advantage of, Newsom said.
