White House Launches ‘One-Stop Shop’ COVID Site For Treatment, Testing

The Joe Biden Administration has revealed a brand-new COVID-19 website, a “one-stop shop” for citizens in the US to receive the latest updates on the virus and gain access to vaccines, treatments, tests, and masks to stay protected. 

Within the site, residents can find a new test-to-treat locator tool that will show them the over 2,000 locations nationwide that provide COVID-19 tests and life-saving antiviral pills with one click. 

Notably, the White House says that due to the new measures in place, “America is in a new moment in the pandemic.” 

“To ensure we’re sustaining and building on this progress, and protecting and preparing for new variants, earlier this month, the President released his National COVID-19 Preparedness Plan,” said the statement.

In short, the Plan is a roadmap of how the country plans to fight the virus as more people return to their usual routines, such as by building and investing in medical infrastructure and lifesaving tools. 

The new site will be available in English, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese, as well as for those using assistive technologies.

For those who prefer speaking over the phone, they can access the information through the National Hotline at 1-800-232-0233 which supports over 150 languages.
