In scramble to stop

virus, testing raises

tough questions

NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials confronted tough ques-
tions and doubts Thursday about testing to intercept the
fast-spreading virus, with scrutiny focused on a four-day
delay in screening an infected California woman despite
her doctors' early calls to do so.

test for the illness, but how to make sure that working test
kits get out to the labs that need them.
All those issues apparently came in to play in the treat-
ment of the woman in northern California, a case officials
say may be the first community-spread instance of the
disease in the U.S. This undated photo provided by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows CDC’s
