An Amazon spokesperson told CNBC that the company is experiencing inventory shortages of some COVID-19 testing kits and that it is working on securing additional inventory from their selling partnerships. 

Amazon did not detail when it began experiencing test shortages but said it’s up to its third-party sellers and vendors to set purchasing limits.
