Governor Greg Abbott and TDEM announced the expansion of the COVID-19 Rapid Testing Program for front line workers at Texas small businesses by dedicating 1 million BinaxNow Rapid Tests to the program. TDEM will provide participating Chamber of Commerce organizations with COVID-19 testing supplies that will then be allocated by the Chambers to local small businesses that choose to participate in the program. Small businesses can then administer these tests to employees who choose to participate. The program has been developed using the framework of the COVID-19 Rapid Testing Pilot Program for Texas school systems, implemented by TEA and TDEM in October.
