Quotes:“The ability to run large numbers of tests is key to any plan to ease restrictions on businesses and gatherings. At the beginning of this pandemic, you’ll remember that testing capabilities were extremely limited around the nation. We had to use CDC tests and ship everyone of them to Atlanta and wait for results. We also didn’t have nearly enough of those tests. This has been a problem across the country as well as here in Virginia... ...Throughout this process, governors, labs, and health care systems have literally been competing for the same supply of reagents and swabs just as we have done with PPE because of limited national guidance.” - Governor Ralph Northam, April 20, 2022 Resources:The National Coalition of 100 Black Women of the Charlottesville Metropolitan Area websiteCharlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Project ReboundSupportCvilleThomas Jefferson Coalition for the HomelessGovernor Northam's April 20, 2020 press conference
