Good morning,
Yesterday, President Trump took historic action to meet our Nation’s testing needs by unveiling the Opening Up America Again Testing Overview and Testing Blueprint. These tools will aid states in safely reopening and provide the American people with the confidence they need to resume their daily lives.
- “Together, we will rebuild this land that we love, we will reclaim the magnificent destiny that we share, and we will carry our Nation forward to new heights of greatness and glory.” – President Trump
- The Trump Administration has performed more than 5.4 million tests in less than 45 days – far more than any other nation.
- The Food and Drug Administration has issued 70 emergency authorizations for new tests, including 62 molecular tests and 8 serological tests.
Additionally, the U.S. Small Business Administration resumed accepting Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) applications yesterday.
