Florida to Receive Millions of Rapid COVID-19 Test Kits

Testing is vital in stopping the spread of COVID-19 and millions of rapid 15-minute test kits from Abbott Labs are being distributed in Florida.

"Florida will receive a total of 6.4 million of these tests, and as of today, over 2.28 million will have been received by this week by the state of Florida," said Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary Admiral Brett Giroir. He says the test uses a swab but it's not the uncomfortable 'deep swab.' It only goes into the tip of the patient's nose. Giroir says the deep swab tests have dissuaded some Floridians from getting tested for coronavirus.
