President Biden pledges to provide more COVID tests to US Schools

The Administration of President Joe Biden has announced it will provide an additional 10 million coronavirus tests to schools across the country in a bid to avert closures amid a spike in cases fuelled by the Omicron variant.
This was disclosed on Wednesday by the White House Press Secretary, Jen Psaki.
Psaki said the government would make available five million lab-based PCR tests and five million rapid tests monthly starting in January to ease supply shortages and to help schools safely reopen following the holiday break.
