Trump administration to end federal support for COVID-19 testing sites as the number of coronavirus infections continues to climb across the country — particularly now in the South and West
As the number of coronavirus infections continues to climb across the country — particularly now in the South and West — the Trump administration is planning to end its funding and support for coronavirus testing sites at the end of the month.
The Trump administration initially planned to transition the so-called Community-Based Testing Sites program to local control back in April but extended the federal support after pushback from local lawmakers.Following the administration's announcement Wednesday, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, called on the White House to extend support for testing in his state.
A spokesperson for Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said he also “has urged and will continue to urge HHS and FEMA to extend the community testing sites in Texas.”
