CORONAVIRUS: “Today I’m pleased to report that we’re announcing our plan to distribute 150 million Abbott rapid point-of-care [coronavirus] tests in the coming weeks, very, very soon. This will be more than double the number of tests already performed and here’s our plan.
50 million tests will go to protect the most vulnerable communities, which we’ve always promised to do, including 18 million for nursing homes, 15 million for assisted living facilities, 10 million for home health and hospice care, hospice care agencies, and nearly one million for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and also tribal nation colleges.
100 million rapid point-of-care tests will be given to states and territories to support efforts to reopen their economies and schools immediately and fast as they can.”
