Trump Administration Allocates $11B for COVID-19 Testing as Faster Tests Get Approved
05/12/2020
The Trump administration will provide $11 billion to states to ramp up testing capabilities to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a FierceHealthcare report.
States will need to determine goals for testing not only people who are sick but also how they will provide contact tracing to outline the spread of any infection, senior administration officials told reporters Monday.
The funding is from the CARES Act that included $2.2 trillion in economic relief funding.
