Our National Covid-19 Testing Action Plan lays out
the precise steps necessary to enact robust testing,
tracing, and coordination to more safely reopen our
economy – starting with a dramatic expansion of
testing from 1 million tests per week to initially 3 million per week and then 30 million per week, backed
by an Emergency Network for Covid-19 Testing to
coordinate and underwrite the testing market, a public-private testing technology accelerator, and a national initiative to rapidly expand and optimize
the use of U.S., university, and local lab capacity.
The plan also includes: launching a Covid Community
Healthcare Corps so every American can easily get
tested with privacy-centric contact tracing; a testing
data commons and digital platform to track Covid-19
statuses, resources, and effective treatment protocols
across states and be a clearinghouse for data on new
technologies; and a Pandemic Testing Board, in line
with other recommendations, to bridge divides across
governmental jurisdictions and professional fields.
