From the episode: Sun. 03/08 - Italy Locks Down, and Why Aren't We Testing More?

Answer

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had the test ready fairly early, but as those test kits were deployed to all the 50 states, it was soon discovered those tests were delivering inconclusive results. They had to re-develop the test and send new ones.

More on this from another source " The CDC struggle to roll out the test. "
