HHS: COVID-19 Testing Reaching Capacity at Some Labs as States Grapple With Spikes
07/02/2020
Some laboratories across the country are reaching or near capacity on COVID-19 testing as cases start to rise to record levels in some states, according to a FierceHealthcare report.
Assistant Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Brett Giroir, M.D., who is coordinating the federal government’s testing response, told reporters that he can expect test pooling technology to be in place by the end of August. Pooling would test a batch of samples for any presence of COVID-19.
