\"TheWashington, D.C.<\/strong> – President Donald J. Trump is working tirelessly to ensure that every State, territory, and tribe has the resources they need to meet their testing goals.<\/p>\n

The Administration is sending $11 billion to help States, territories, and tribes meet the testing goals set out by their Governors and tribal leaders.<\/p>\n

The Federal Government will be sending approximately 12 million swabs to States over the course of May to supplement private sector resources.<\/p>\n

President Donald J. Trump is also working to ensure manufacturers are producing enough testing supplies \u2013 such as reagents and extraction kits \u2013 to support our robust testing system.<\/p>\n

The Administration has partnered with leading retail companies as well as local independent pharmacies to increase access to testing for Americans in more communities.<\/p>\n

By the end of this week, more than 300 retail testing sites will be operational to serve Americans in 47 states and D.C., prioritizing access in underserved communities.<\/p>\n

Leading The World in Testing<\/h3>\n

As a result of President Trump\u2019s leadership, the United States has become the world\u2019s leader in coronavirus testing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • President Trump revolutionized our testing system and, in partnership with Governors, scaled up testing across the country to unprecedented levels.<\/li>\n
  • More than 9 million tests have now been completed in the United States \u2013 by far the most in the world \u2013 and this number will soon surpass 10 million.\n
      \n
    • Last week, as many as 314,000 Americans were tested a day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • The United States is testing more than every country on Earth, including South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Italy.<\/li>\n
    • In May, every single State will be able to test more people per capita than South Korea has tested per capita in four months since the outbreak began.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Developing New Tests<\/h3>\n

      President Trump has led an unprecedented effort to quickly develop more innovative, high-quality, and reliable tests.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • The Trump Administration is leveraging the power of the private sector to accelerate research and development of innovative diagnostic tests.<\/li>\n
      • Already, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 92 emergency use authorizations for coronavirus tests \u2013 more authorizations than for H1N1, Avian flu, MERS, Ebola, Enterovirus, and Zika combined.<\/li>\n
      • The FDA\u2019s quick authorization of tests created by companies such as Roche, LabCorp, Abbott Labs, and many others have greatly increased America\u2019s testing speed and capacity.\n
          \n
        • These efforts have allowed Americans to receive testing results in as little as five minutes, or collect a sample for a test within the comfort of their own homes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • New antibody tests, antigen tests, point-of-care nucleic acid testing, and genomic sequencing technologies are under development, which will enhance our coronavirus monitoring efforts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
