Providence Business News‘ Jacquelyn Voghel reports on manufacturers’ demand for continued/increased COVID-19 testing and Polaris MEP’s support:

“On Jan. 4, Polaris MEP and the manufacturers association emailed manufacturers to remind them of the testing program. Within hours, Polaris MEP Center Director Kathie Mahoney had received around 20 email responses from businesses interested in the program.

Mahoney said she was pleased with the response, calling the offer “a fantastic program” that helps businesses stay open.

But Mahoney anticipates that supply shortages will at some point outweigh demand for the testing kits, as businesses and individuals across the state and around the country scramble to secure tests at rapidly filling state-sponsored sites and through retail stores.”
