Coronavirus: Federal government will end funding for 13 community-based Covid-19 test sites, most in Texas

  • The Trump administration will end federal funding for 13 community-based coronavirus testing sites by the end of June as part of a previously announced plan to extend support for Covid-19 testing across the nation by other means.
  • The move, confirmed by NBC News, will affect seven sites in Texas, which has seen a surge of Covid-19 cases.
  • Sen. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, is pushing back against the decision by the administration

“I believe that they need to extend that federal support in Texas, at least until we get this most recent uptick in cases addressed,” Cornyn said.
