CDC is no longer reporting testing numbers, but CDC director confirmed number:

per CNN:
US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Robert Redfield said 4,856 novel coronavirus tests have been run in public health labs across the United States.

Redfield said that number, which was last updated on Monday, does not include clinical labs or private labs.

While speaking at a House Appropriations hearing for the 2021 CDC budget, Redfield said the CDC is working on a new reporting system to track tests which should be available soon.
