In August of this year, the Trump administration decided to invest US$750 million to order 150 million quick test kits from Abbott. This test kit is not only inexpensive and simple to use, it can also get test results within 15 minutes.

According to the Trump administration’s distribution plan, of the 150 million test boxes, 43 million will be allocated to nursing homes, nursing homes, home health care and hospice care institutions, and more than 100 million will be allocated to states and territories to support localities. Restart the economy as soon as possible and open schools.

Mississippi Governor Reeves said, "This assignment will allow teachers in our K-12 school to be tested for the virus every day in the future."


In addition to greatly improving virus testing capabilities, Trump once again emphasized the rapid progress in vaccine research and development, and said that within 24 hours of the vaccine's approval by the FDA, the vaccine can be started, and more than 100 million CCP virus vaccines will be provided by the end of the year.
