I emailed the Company this afternoon, asking if they had any sense from the NYS Health Department when to expect a reply to their PCR application.

I received a reply pretty quickly:

"Hello -

New York State Department of Health offered no guidance on a timeline for its decision to either approve or refuse our diagnostic. What they have communicated to us is that all monkeypox virus-related submissions are being expedited, however, they did not define 'expedited.' "
