- The US needs to be able to conduct at least 20 million tests a day in order to fully reopen the economy by late July, according to a report from Harvard University's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics.
- Forty-five cross-disciplinary experts compiled the report, titled "Roadmap to Pandemic Resilience."
- The plan emphasized three integral components to reopen the US, including sufficient testing, the ability to trace cases, and supported isolation.
- Meanwhile, while the US has caught up to other countries on testing — having tested more than 4 million people thus far — there is still not a governmental consensus on a testing strategy.
- Governors have reported a shortage of supplies for testing and are asking for help from the federal government; President Trump has said testing is the responsibility of state and local government; and Democrats are pushing for a national testing strategy.
