program, which was expected to deliver 500 million coronavirus test kits across the country last winterThe White House is pausing new orders to prevent the country from running out of “our limited remaining supply” of self-administered tests in case it were hit with a surge of cases this fall, a senior administration official told The Washington Post.
“It’s unfortunate,” said Wafaa El-Sadr, a professor of epidemiology and medicine at Columbia University. “We don’t know what’s going to happen moving forward. Availability of testing is a very critical part of how we need to manage covid-19.
