testing comes as confirmed new COVID-19 cases remain elevated at more than 40,000 per day and experts warn of a likely surge in infections during the colder months ahead.

It also comes just five weeks before the November election, with Trump facing continued criticism for his handling of the crisis.The tests will go out to states based on their population and can be used as governors see fit, but the administration encourages states to place a priority on schools.
