Washington Post: Our bipartisan bill empowers states to get the testing necessary to suppress the coronavirus

Importantly, our bipartisan effort is co-sponsored by Senate colleagues from both sides of the aisle. It also has bipartisan support in the House, with Reps. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) and Phil Roe (R-Tenn.) leading the effort. Let us be clear. The Suppress COVID-19 Act is not the only strategy required to beat this viral pandemic. Yet testing is critical, and the United States continues to struggle. Our bill would provide a path to build up our nation’s testing capacity and on-the-ground activity to suppress covid-19 and safely reopen the country.
