U.S. Covid-19

Since 2020, we’ve championed a comprehensive Covid-19 national response and recovery plan, focusing our efforts on providing evidence-based information and equitable access to life-saving tools.

We committed over $1 billion to Covid-19 response efforts over the first three years to achieve the three goals:

• accelerate the global response to this pandemic and prevent the next one;
• fight the existing and emerging crisis of hunger and malnutrition in the United States and around the world; and
• help workers, families, and vulnerable communities get through the pandemic and emerge with greater opportunity than they had before.

This included a National Testing Action Plan that aimed to create a state-led national program of Covid-19 testing that would support the reopening of the economy through the goals of workforce monitoring, early detection of recurrent outbreaks, and diagnostic and home testing.
