Trump's testing czar wants POC testing! Half of all Covid-19 tests should be point-of-care by September, Trump's testing czar says
Admiral Brett Giroir, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, said that by September, half of all Covid-19 tests will be new "point of care" coronavirus tests that promise rapid results.
"We want tests back as quickly as possible. I said before, I want the perfect test. I want it to be perfectly sensitive and back within 15 minutes. That's why we're working towards more point of care. But it is a work in progress because of the tremendous demand," Giroir said during CNN's global coronavirus town hall tonight.
Giroir said that data shows that right now across the US, 56% of tests are "back within three days, 76% are back within five days."
