Additionally, before governors consider relaxing social distancing measures to protect against reoccurrence of COVID-19 cases, states will need to significantly expand diagnostic and antibody testing capacity which includes an essential public health infrastructure to support contact tracing, surveillance, epidemiology, laboratory capacity, workforce, and community partnerships. Congress must provide flexible long-term and emergency supplemental funding to support states in establishing the infrastructure needed to successfully implement population-wide testing and follow-up, a critical component to economic recovery across the states.
