A new alliance of U.S. companies has come together to promote employer-based COVID-19 testing as an essential effort in keeping employees and their communities safe during the pandemic.
The coalition is called the Workplace Employers Alliance for COVID-19 Testing, or WE ACT, and its initial members include Amazon, CVS Health and Thermo Fisher Scientific.
WE ACT officials said they believed that to achieve President-elect Joe Biden's goal of establishing regular and reliable testing, employers will need to play a central role in the effort. The alliance plans to serve as a resource for public officials and businesses that want to launch or expand testing programs in their communities.
