After repeated setbacks, President Donald Trump on Monday insisted the U.S. would dramatically expand testing for the coronavirus in May and pave the way for states to start reopening their economies.
Brett Giroir, the assistant secretary of health in the Trump administration, said at the president’s daily press briefing that testing would more than double in May from approximately 4 million in April, when a host of snafus plagued the states and federal government. Executives at the news conference made similar promises a month ago at another White House event, but they do appear to have made substantial progress in scaling up testing and diagnosis capabilities since then.As testing expands, the White House said it would work with the states to increase contract tracing to try to isolate future outbreaks and prevent them from spreading.
