Although the number of Americans vaccinated against COVID-19 rises every day, testing remains a key component to the country’s public health effort to thwart the spread of the virus. Testing is particularly important as more childrenâwho are currently ineligible for a vaccineâreturn to school for in-person learning.
Today, Ginkgo Bioworks announced a collaboration with Quest Diagnostics to provide COVID-19 testing services for every Kâ12 student in the United States, every week. This announcement comes just one month after Ginkgo announced a partnership with Helix to provide testing to Kâ12 schools across the western United States.
