San Antonio Health officials say they're expecting a second coronavirus test kit from federal health officials today. The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District already had one kit, which could be used to test up to 130 people. Metro Health aims to increase its test capacity to 500 people by the end of this week, and will oversee testing only of local residents. Mayor Ron Nirenberg says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is responsible for testing and treating evacuees at JBSA-Lackland and other military bases.
