NEW EFFORT TOGETHER MORE OF THAT
DATA.
FOR MORE ON THAT, LET’S GO LIVE
TO MIKE CRONIN.
MIKE C: THE STATE NOW HOPES
THAT ANYONE WILL NOW SIGN UP TO
GET TESTED, AND THAT INCLUDES
THE MAN AT THE TOP
FOR THE FIRST TIME, GOVERNOR
SUNUNU SAYS HE WILL BE TESTED
FOR COVID-19.
THE ASYMPTOMATIC SPREA
ASSESSMENT PROGRAM, OR A.S.A.P.
COVID TESTING, IS BEING LAUNCHED
TODA
PEOPLE CAN REGISTER ONLINE, AS
THE STATE IS NOW TRYING TO
IDENTIFY WHO MAY HAVE
CORONAVIRUS IN AN EFFORT TO
FURTHER SLOW THE SPREAD.
NOW THAT THE STATE HAS EXPANDE
CAPACITY, SO THAT ANYONE WHO
WANTS A TEST CAN GET ONE, THIS
IS THE NEXT STEP TO TRY TO
FIGURE OUT WHO COULD BE
SPREADING COVID-19, WITHOUT EVEN
KNOWING IT.
COMMR. SHIBINETTE: THE MORE DATA
WE GET OUT OF EVERY SINGLE
COMMUNITY, THE MORE WE CAN SAY
, "OH, THERE’S A PATTERN OF
ILLNESS OR THERE’S A PATTERN OF
ASYMPTOMATIC POSITIVE IN THIS
SMALL TOWN IN THE WESTERN PA
OF THE STATE."
AND BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY THAT,
DO THE CONTACT TRACING BACK
ANOTHER EVENT, COULD TIE US TO
ANOTHER GROUP OF PEOPLE.
MIKE C: ANYONE WHO WANTS TO TAKE
SIGN UP FOR THIS NEW PROGRAM CAN
DO SO BY VISITIN
