The health director said that they had completed 50 tests as of last Sunday. Not sure where your source gets their info.

Your number is correct:

Of course they should be using all of their 150 available tests for people in voluntary quarantine or folks with pulmonary systems in hospitals.

Costa Rica raises coronavirus cases to nine, including three Americans

Of the nine, one was an American woman who lives in Costa Rica, while the other two US citizens were a couple who had arrived as tourists from New York, the government said.

Some truth about where we are with testing NOW.

“The initial test used in America for the never-before-seen coronavirus was developed by the CDC. The new test kits are manufactured by Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc., which told NBC News in a statement Friday afternoon that it had delivered enough kits to test more than 700,000 individuals using the CDC protocol.”

In the same article, 1.5 million should be available next week.

I know, too little, too late, but testing is happening at a much faster pace than the liberal media would have you believe.
