Pence, in 'Hannity' interview, says there will be 'tens of thousands' of coronavirus tests in coming days, weeks
Vice President Mike Pence, in an interview Tuesday on "Hannity," once again encouraged Americans and businesses to follow the coronavirus guidelines released by the Trump administration's coronavirus task force.
"We need every American, every American business to step forward and recognize that if we act now, if we act now, we can limit the spread of the coronavirus significantly and ultimately save lives," he told host Sean Hannity, pushing "social distancing."
When Hannity asked Pence about drive-thru testing, the VP said the process was ramping up. "What's happening is that as of last week, ten states around the country had initiated drive-thru testing centers. But Sean, they were using the old manual testing methods in labs, which could only test about 40 to 60 people a week," Pence said.
"Because President Trump two weeks ago brought together the top commercial labs in the country and because the FDA moved in record time, now we have what are called high-throughput tests, automated tests that can literally test thousands of people a day for the coronavirus." Click here for more.
