As senators return to Capitol Hill from an extended recess due to the virus outbreak, they will be supplied with rapid COVID-19 tests, according to President Donald Trump and Department of Health and Human Services chief Alex Azar.

Trump said in a tweet May 2 that there was “tremendous” testing capacity for senators returning to work on May 4, adding that a rapid test developed by Abbott Laboratories would be used.
