Fact check: On Monday, President Trump made the same claim about coronavirus testing that he did in early March: 'If somebody wants to be tested right now, they'll be able to be tested.' Two months later, it's still not true.
"If somebody wants to be tested right now," Trump said at a Monday news conference,"they'll be able to be tested." Two months later, it's still not true.Some states now say they are offering tests to everyone. But multiple states still say tests should go to people who meet certain criteria -- such as having symptoms of the virus, having had contact with an infected person or working in a health care facility or in a grocery store.
Some Americans who do not have symptoms may want to be tested -- and know that people who live and work in their vicinity have been tested -- so they can be more confident returning to workplaces and engaging in social activities. Asymptomatic people are being tested before they have contact with the President himself. Trump did not respond directly on Monday when asked to address perceptions of a double standard on testing.
