Cornyn Urges White House to Extend Support for Coronavirus Testing in Texas*

WASHINGTON– In response to the Trump Administration’s announcement that it would cease federal support for seven coronavirus testing centers in Texas, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) said the following on a press conference call with Texas reporters today:
*“I know there’s a concern, concern I share, over some of the statements being made about withdrawing federal support for coronavirus testing in Texas at the end of June. It’s pretty clear to me, and I think it’s clear to all of us that with the uptick of cases, now is not a time to retreat from our vigilance in testing.”*
*“I believe that they need to extend that federal support in Texas, at
least until we get this most recent uptick in cases addressed.”*
