Baker Administration Pushes Testing, Rescinds COVID ‘Standards of Care’

State officials Friday continued to praise Massachusetts for taking the steps that have lowered the rate of positive tests for COVID-19 and introduced new vehicles to advance the commonwealth's testing program.

"As you know, we continue to ramp up our testing capacity in the commonwealth and access to testing," Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders said. "At this point, testing for COVID-19 is widely available. Today we have launched a revamped testing website called [www.mass.gov/covid-19-testing] as a more convenient resource to the public.

Baker reported that nearly 16,000 tests were conducted over the last two days, and at least one site, which could not satisfy all its requests for appointments, was continuing tests from the program today.
