VOA News

   The U.S. Health and Human Services secretary said Thursday a million
   test kits for the COVID-19 are expected to arrive this weekend at U.S.
   labs.

   Alex Azar said the coronavirus tests are shipping from a private
   manufacturer.

   The Trump administration has received criticism about the short supply
   of test kits.

   Vice President Mike Pence said in Washington state Thursday, "We don't
   have enough tests today to meet what we anticipate will be the demand
   going forward," but added that "real progress" had been made "in the
   last several days."
