Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) announced the expansion of the COVID-19 Rapid Testing Program for front line workers at Texas small businesses.
The expansion will be dedicating 1 million BinaxNow Rapid Tests to the program.
The COVID-19 Small Business Rapid Testing Program launched in December as a pilot program and has aimed to help small businesses throughout the state conduct rapid tests on employees to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
