Trump says government will step up coronavirus testing efforts, after governors blast federal inaction

President Trump said on Sunday that the federal government is stepping up efforts to obtain vital supplies for coronavirus testing, hours after several governors from both parties faulted his administration for not doing enough to help states. Public health experts say testing on a larger scale is a crucial step
before resuming normal social and economic activity in the country. But
Trump defended the administration’s approach of leaving testing largely
to states.
