    Esther Krofah, Gina Raimondo, Adam Schechter

    Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo outlined a strategic "SOS" testing framework and a phased economic reopening plan designed to expand daily testing capacity from 3,000 to 20,000 while prioritizing equity for vulnerable populations. LabCorp CEO Adam Schechter detailed the company's rapid scaling of PCR and antibody testing capabilities to 150,000 and 300,000 daily tests respectively, emphasizing high accuracy rates while noting that antibody presence does not yet guarantee immunity. Together, the state officials and industry leaders highlighted the critical role of contact tracing and continued safety protocols in preventing a combined flu and coronavirus surge in the fall.
