With President Joseph Biden taking office this week, the lab industry is keen to see what steps his administration will take to boost COVID testing.
Last week he released details on his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, a legislative package that would include $50 billion to expand COVID-19 testing and an additional $30 billion investment in the Disaster Relief Fund to help ramp up production of supplies including items like vials, reagents, and protective gear that are essential to collecting and running clinical samples.
