Trump administration says it will launch mobile coronavirus test system this week
WASHINGTON — The federal government will roll out a nationwide coronavirus testing system at mobile sites across the country this week, a top Trump administration health official said Sunday.
Brett Giroir, a top deputy to health secretary Alex Azar who was recently designated to oversee the administration’s efforts to ramp up testing capacity, said the federal government would begin shipping materials for a network of mobile testing facilities on Monday. By the end of the week, he said, 1.9 million tests would be available to as many as 2,000 laboratories nationwide.
