COVID Testing Capacity Leaps Forward And New Rapid Testing Deployed in Missouri

Missouri has increased its testing capacity for COVID-19 to 50,000 tests a week.

The Missouri State Public Health Laboratory and at least 15 other private, national, and in-state laboratories and participating health institutions are equipped as the testing capacity increases.

The testing criteria have also been expanded to allow for comprehensive testing in congregate facilities.

There are currently over 100 sample collection sites in Missouri, including at Cox Health and Mercy Hospital. An interactive map linked here will show all of them.

Rapid testing by Abbott allows for test results in less than 13 minutes. Those have been deployed throughout Missouri.
