WASHINGTON – The Biden administration is directing $10 billion from the recently passed stimulus package toward increased Covid-19 testing in schools, as the White House grapples with the difficult task of getting the nation's school children back into classrooms.
The funding will go out in April and be awarded directly to states, the administration said Wednesday. Because the funding will be allocated proportionally, large states such as California and Texas will receive more than $800 million each, the administration said.
The administration is also designating $2.25 billion for Covid-19 testing to address health disparities among underserved populations and a $150 million to help get Covid treatments to underserved communities.
