House Republican Leader Todd Gilbert issued the following statement regarding today’s news about COVID-19 testing in Virginia:

“We’re pleased to see the number of tests being conducted in Virginia increase today, but the delays to date are inexcusable. Virginia is home to some of the finest minds and institutions and we have the resources necessary to be a leader in fighting COVID-19. Lives and livelihoods are at risk every day we don’t have a good picture of the COVID-19 footprint in our communities. We can and must do better.”
