    The AAMC has released recommendations calling for a coordinated national testing strategy to identify, track, and help curtail the spread of COVID-19. The recommendations include calling for a clear and transparent national testing strategy; ensuring that each use of the Defense Production Act for testing supplies be detailed on a public website; and creating a partnership between the federal government, state health authorities, academic institutions, and industry to fund and accelerate screening and surveillance testing for COVID-19. The AAMC also recommends a rapid and dramatic increase in testing to 9 million people each day.
