WASHINGTON – Federal officials will begin sending tens of millions of immediate coronavirus tests to state governors this month to use when schools reopen.
Admiral Brett Giroir, the Trump administration’s leading check officer, on Tuesday defined plans to distribute some of the 150 million checks ordered from checkmaker Abbott Laboratories, the federal acquisition first announced last week.
Abbott’s immediate check, the length of a credit card, is the first to not require a specialized computer device to grow.The check provides effects in approximately 15 minutes and is priced at $5, particularly lower than older checks.
Giroir said the “vast majority” would pass on to American interns to be used in the evaluation of young people in K-12 schools.Controls can only be used to verify lifeguards and other high-risk populations.
Tests will be sent to 20,000 households with support services.Unlike nursing homes, assisted living centers are supervised through Medicare.Because service apartments also house a vulnerable population, they face some of the same dangers as nursing homes.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, tests in the United States have been based primarily on nasal swab tests sent to laboratories for treatment, but scarcity has led to late testing, delayed effects, and drug-tracking efforts.
Health experts say immediate outdoor testing in the lab is essential to increase the amount of testing before the flu season.
