COVID-19 testing in Mass. is ‘far short’
of level needed to stop virus spread
Members of the state’s high-tech business community on Monday urged the state and the rest of the nation to step up the amount of COVID-19 testing, saying the number of tests is still falling far short of what is needed to win the fight against the coronavirus.

In the spring, the Massachusetts High Technology Council recommended that at least 100,000 COVID-19 tests per day take place in Massachusetts by the end of June. The council recommended 500,000 to 1 million by the end of the fall, to stop the second wave of the virus.

The actual number of tests has risen to an average of about 70,000 a day, according to a new report on COVID-19 from the tech council, though the total has exceeded 100,000 a day a few times in recent days.
