From CNN's Elise HammondNew York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the state knows how to conduct testing and contact tracing, but the problem is how to do it on a widespread scale to ensure reopening the economy would not cause a spike in coronavirus infections.

Cuomo said the problem with getting more reagents hinges on them not being made in the US. Additionally, because these manufactures are regulated by the federal government, it controls where the reagents are distributed.
