CDC's Infectious Diseases (ID) Laboratories accept specimens from State Public Health Laboratories (SPHLs) and other federal agencies for analysis. Specimens from private healthcare providers and institutions are accepted when forwarded from the a local state health department laboratory.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention listed on Monday 27 types of testing that have been suspended. Andrew Nixon, an HHS spokesman, called the pause temporary and attributed it to “a routine review to uphold our commitment to high quality laboratory testing.” “We anticipate some of these tests will be available through CDC labs again in the coming weeks. In the meantime, CDC stands ready to support our state and local partners to access the public health testing they need.”
Go to the CDC ID Laboratories page to see the tests which have been suspended:

Note that the CDC is in an interregnum. Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD. is the current acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) after Susan Monarez was canned.
