DHHS provides funds to increase COVID-19 testing in Missouri


WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Department of Health and Human Services is allocating $135 million to Missouri to fund increased testing for COVID-19.

The funding is a part of a $10.25 billion effort provided by the CDC and the Trump Administration to ensure that states and towns have the resources necessary to meet testing goals and reopen safely.

The funding, along with previous financial support provided by the CDC, will provide critical support to process COVID-19 tests, conduct surveillance, trace contacts and more.
