MD Delegate: Testing kits that Gov. Hogan got from South Korea remain locked away

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WBFF) - One month after Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced the state had purchased 500,000 coronavirus testing kits from South Korea, a state legislator is raising questions about the deal.

When the announcement was made last month, health officials and public officials expected that the majority of the kits would be dispatched immediately to nursing homes and other areas hard hit by COVID-19.

But Del. Kirill Reznik, a Democrat who represents Montgomery County, says thousands of the kits still remained locked in a warehouse.

There was an initial delay in distributing the kits since the FDA has not yet given its approval to the South Korean kits.
