Biden wants to Spend $50 billion on expanded testing Biden wants to expand COVID-19 testing with a $50 billion investment, and the document repeated his commitment to ensuring tests are available to all Americans for free.
The investment includes purchasing rapid tests that provide quicker results, expanding lab capacity so more tests can be processed, and implementing regular testing protocols at schools, prisons, long-term care facilities, and local governments.
This will allow the country to reopen schools and other facilities to emerge from lockdown safely, the document said.
It noted that "tests are still not widely available" despite this being a "critical strategy for controlling the spread of COVID-19."
