More than 14.3 million tests have been administered in a state with a population of 12.8 million. But that doesn t mean everyone has been tested. Some may have been tested two or more times.
“We know that the number of COVID-19 cases in Pennsylvania and across the country has been on the rise, said Beam. “We need people to continue to be vigilant. Testing is the most effective way to identify and contain the virus.”
With testing, officials also hope to be able to track variants of the bug that has so far claimed the lives of 25,237 state residents.
COVID-19 testing in K-12 schools will be “prioritized next,” said Beam, who could offer no further details Tuesday on those plans.
