White House to end funding for COVID testing in 7 states amid surge in cases
|
The Trump administration is ending funding and support for local COVID-19 testing sites around the country this month, as cases and hospitalizations are skyrocketing in many states. The federal government will stop providing money and support for 13 sites across five states which were originally set up in the first months of the pandemic to speed up testing at the local level.
Texas will be particularly hard hit by the decision. The federal government gives much-needed testing kits and laboratory access to seven testing sites around Texas. But in the state, which is seeing new peaks in cases, people still face long lines for testing that continues to fail to meet overwhelming demand.

Miami-Dade hospitals see surge of young patients with COVID-19
|
Miami-Dade hospitals are seeing a surge of younger patients with COVID-19 compared to the first wave in April. The patients are not as severely ill and doctors and nurses have gained experience during the pandemic, leading to shorter hospital stays and better outcomes.
The number of admitted COVID-19 patients at Miami-Dade hospitals had plateaued throughout much of May and began to trend down in early June. But at Homestead Hospital, which is part of Baptist Health, the ICU filled to the capacity this week. Doctors managed capacity in part by transferring patients among the system’s 11 hospitals in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.
