The federal government will be distributing nearly 1 million rapid point-of-care tests to nursing homes across the country, Assistant Secretary of Health Brett P. Giroir said during a speech in the House on Friday.
The tests will be distributed across 1,019 high-risk nursing homes by the end of this week. Giroir stated that by the end of next week, 663 more nursing homes will also be receiving the point-of-care tests.
