Question: Are tuberculosis testing supplies disrupted by COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Tuberculosis and COVID-19
section_headers: How can health authorities ensure supplies of tuberculosis medicines and diagnostics?
section_content: Appropriate planning and monitoring are essential to ensure that procurement
and supply of tuberculosis (TB) medicines and diagnostics are not interrupted.  
WHO is monitoring medicine supply at the global level, while The Global Fund,
the Stop TB Partnership Global Drug Facility (GDF), USAID, Unitaid and other
donors play an essential role in supporting countries to secure adequate and
sustainable supplies of TB medicines, drugs and diagnostics.
Countries are advised to place their orders for 2020 delivery as soon as
possible given anticipated delays in transport and delivery mechanisms.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer does not provide any information of whether or not tuberculosis testing supplies are disrupted due to Covid-19. This information is about what WHO has been doing to ensure TB medicines and diagnostics are not interrupted and also information on different organizations that play important role in providing TB supplies to different countries.
This answer talks about the supply of TB tests and why they won't be disrupted.

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Tuberculosis and COVID-19
section_headers: Can tuberculosis and COVID-19 be tested on the same type of specimen?
section_content: The diagnostic methods for tuberculosis (TB) and COVID-19 are quite distinct
and commonly require different specimens.  
Sputum, as well as many other biological specimens, can be used to diagnose TB
using culture or molecular techniques.  
Tests for COVID-19 are done most commonly by nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal
swab or wash in ambulatory patients, but sputum or endotracheal aspirate or
bronchoalveolar lavage may be used in patients with severe respiratory
disease. Molecular testing is the currently recommended method for the
identification of infectious COVID-19 and just as for TB, serological assays
are not recommended for the routine diagnosis of COVID-19.
The pipeline for COVID-19 diagnostics has flourished impressively within a few
months. Amongst these is the Xpert® Xpress SARS-CoV-2 cartridge for use on
GeneXpert machines, which are machines used in TB diagnosis. WHO is currently
evaluating this cartridge as well as other tests. Additional resources to roll
out COVID-19 testing should be mobilized rather than relying only on existing
resources that are used for TB, to ensure that the diagnostic coverage for TB
is maintained as necessary.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer addresses the fact that the two tests are different.
This answer does not provide any information on tuberculosis testing supplies during Covid-19. Instead, it provides information on how tuberculosis testing is performed.

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Malaria and COVID-19
section_headers: Have there been disruptions in the global supply of key malaria-related commodities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic?
section_content: Yes. In recent weeks, there have been reports of disruptions in the supply
chains of essential malaria commodities – such as long-lasting insecticidal
nets, rapid diagnostic tests and antimalarial medicines – resulting from
lockdowns and from a suspension of the importation and exportation of goods in
response to COVID-19. WHO and partners are working together to ensure the
availability of key malaria control tools, particularly in countries with a
high burden of the disease, and that efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19
do not compromise access to malaria prevention, diagnosis and treatment
services.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is irrelevant to the question. The question is asking about disruption of tuberculosis testing supplies during Covid-19 outbreak and this answer provides information about the disruption in the supply chains of essential malaria commodities during Covid-19.
This answer talks about the disruption of testing, but there is not mention about TB testing.
