I keep hearing mixed messages about the availability of tests. My mom had a relatively easy time (in Summit, NJ), so I'm thinking it's very regional. Does anyone have any info or first-hand experience with people either getting tested or denied, and if so, where?
My mom posted this on Facebook on Friday:

I live in NJ, and the Governor has been busting his ass to get more testing available. It’s state by state. My cousin is in Atlanta and her son has a fever...they’re basically refusing to test anyone who hasn’t either traveled from certain countries or lived with someone who tested positive.
I have to say, I’m very happy with the way Governor Murphy (and my mayor, Ras Baraka) are handling this.
I will say a prayer for your family!
