Ohio s public health departments are getting something Gov. Mike DeWine says they ve wanted for a long time: rapid, at-home COVID-19 tests. DeWine on Thursday announced a partnership with Abbott Labs and digital health care company eMed to administer the rapid antigen tests.
The state will spend $50 million in CARES Act funds for the tests – which will buy 2 million tests at $25 each.
Abbott Labs will provide the tests and eMed personnel will offer live guidance to help people properly administer the test in their homes. People are anxious. They re perfectly willing and glad to do [a test] at home so they don t have to go anywhere, but they want to make sure they re performing the test correctly, said eMed CEO Dr. Patrice Harris, a psychiatrist and former president of the American Medical Association, said during the governor s coronavirus briefing.

Like many San Diego theater artists, designer Ron Logan saw a good portion of his work dry up when the pandemic arrived in March.
Logan has designed scenery and graphics for theaters throughout San Diego, including his best-known work: the bug-eyed, crazy-haired theater fan logo for the San Diego International Fringe Festival. So with more time on his hands this year, Logan launched a new T-shirt line on Amazon inspired by the pandemic and local theater artists, like his partner, Hannah Logan, an actor, producer and playwright. The new Ron Logan Design brand features 25 T-shirt designs, many of them inspired by theater careers and traditions.
