COVID-19 task force: Trump never ordered us to slow down testing

President Trump never ordered his coronavirus task force to slow down testing for the pathogen, key members told Congress on Tuesday.

“None of us have ever been told to slow down on testing. That just is a fact,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

“It’s the opposite, we’re going to be doing more testing, not less,” Dr. Fauci said.
