Trump Says U.S. Has Enough Test Capacity Amid Shortage Concern

President Donald Trump said there’s enough coronavirus testing capacity to put in place his plan to allow a phased reopening of the economy, even though some state officials and business leaders have raised alarms about shortages.

“We’ve already built sufficient testing capacity nationwide so states can begin their re-openings,” the president said Friday at the White House.

Vice President Mike Pence told reporters that the Trump administration would work with governors to ensure labs are fully using their capacities.

The new guidance Trump announced Thursday relies on governors to decide when their states are prepared to attempt to reopen businesses and schools, based on declining indicators of infections and health-system readiness. The plan was faulted by some Democrats and others because it does nothing to address a shortage of testing for the virus.
