Not enough testing-related equipment/supplies available early on during this pandemic and it's only been in the past month that they finally got enough PPE and other tools/reagents needed for the tests (plus more labs online) to even do more testing.
With Test Kits in Short Supply, Health Officials Sound Alarms

But states and public health experts are warning that access is still limited and varies from state to state, hampering the ability to know how far the virus has spread or for how long it has gone undetected in some regions of the country. Were going to need millions and millions and millions of tests, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in a CNN town hall Thursday.
/snip
A total of 71 public laboratories in 47 states and the District of Columbia had the capacity to test for the coronavirus as of Friday afternoon, according to the Association of Public Health Laboratories, which represents government laboratories around the country. Thats up from just eight labs able to process tests last Thursday. Weve seen major progress with essentially the lights coming on across the country, said Scott Becker, the associations chief executive. But the delays mean that were absolutely a few weeks behind where we should be, he said, adding, There is no way you can sugarcoat that.
Maine said it was still bringing its state laboratory online. Pennsylvania officials said they would have the capacity to test 150 specimens a day at the state laboratory beginning this weekend. Arkansas can process eight to 10 tests daily, and has so far tested six patients. Large, private laboratories are also ramping up. LabCorp, a major diagnostics company, began offering a coronavirus test Thursday evening. Another firm, Quest Diagnostics, said it would launch a similar product on Monday.
The reason thats important, the reason that meets future demand is because the enormous capacity of these commercial laboratories and others in the country are precisely how we will make coronavirus tests available for your local doctor, available to your pharmacy and broadly available to the American public, Mr. Pence said at the White House coronavirus task force briefing Friday. But Wendy Bost, a Quest spokeswoman, sounded a more cautious tone. While we believe we have capacity to accommodate initial demand, this is an evolving situation and we anticipate building additional capacity over time, she said in a statement.

Pennsylvania asked FEMA for nearly 500,000 N95 masks. Its still 380,000 short.
by Jonathan Tamari, Updated: April 2, 2020
WASHINGTON As Pennsylvania braces for the worst of the coronavirus to hit, state officials have requested 494,392 N95 medical masks from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to protect frontline medical workers.
To date the state has received less than a quarter of that amount 112,250.
State officials have been told that more are on the way, but even once those arrive, theyll be more than 261,000 masks short of what theyve asked for, according to FEMA data and the states Health Department. The medical-grade masks block particles and are critical for health-care workers treating coronavirus patients.
Its a similar story with some other vital equipment, according to FEMA figures released Thursday by Democrats who run the U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee. As of Monday Pennsylvania had received 216,621 fewer pairs of gloves and nearly 55,500 fewer surgical gowns than it has requested, according to the information House Democrats received from FEMA.

Whats holding up coronavirus testing? Lack of necessary chemicals and lab equipment
Supplies are really literally a day-to-day conversation with the commercial labs and the CDC."
By Alan Yu/WHYY
(Philadelphia) The United States needs to do far more coronavirus testing, public health experts say, but the problem isnt just related to the number of machines required to run the tests. Theres also a shortage of the supplies, such as chemicals and plastic lab equipment, that are needed to run those machines.
/snip
Meyer said the test chemicals come in early in the morning every day, but the health system finds out only a day or two ahead how much they can get. He said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advise companies where the disease hot spots are, and thus which places need tests more than others. Once Jefferson Health staff members get their daily supply of testing chemicals, they look at how many patients need tests and decide who gets one. They typically use up all the testing chemicals they receive. Supplies are really literally a day-to-day conversation with the commercial labs and the CDC, Meyer said. Were still sending a lot of tests out to the commercial labs that we would rather do locally, if nothing else because of turnaround time.
/snip
These test chemicals are useful only to labs doing research on viruses, but all of a sudden every state wants them at the same time. Thats both surprising and frustrating to scientists, said Kristin Omberg, a chemist and lab manager at a nonprofit research institution studying the new coronavirus. Every major supplier that Im talking to is telling me, I dont know when Ill get these in, but Ill ship them to you when I get them in, based on where you are on my wait list, she said. Its like toilet paper; its maddening. These things are never in short supply.
/snip
To test someone for the virus, a health care worker uses a swab that goes all the way to the back of the nose to collect a sample. That sample has to go into a mix of chemicals and nutrients called viral transport media to keep the virus, if its there, intact until it gets to a lab. Then the lab puts the sample in another mix of chemicals called a lysis buffer, which makes the virus relatively harmless but keeps the genetic material intact, so people in the lab can test for the genetic material in the virus without worrying too much about becoming infected themselves. All those things the various chemicals, the swabs, even the plastic pipette tips used to transfer bits of virus from one place to another can be hard to get now, Omberg said.

With the recent expansion (and validation) of other types of tests now (as of May 9,2020) - months later - more "testing capacity" (that is verifiable and accepted) is becoming available.
