As the U.S. enters the fall, Gottlieb said he expects the public health response to be aided by further advancements on tests for Covid-19 that can produce results quickly. He compared this variety of test to pregnancy tests, saying people would put a swab of fluid —saliva or from a nasal swab — onto a piece of paper and within 10 to 15 minutes, "you get a read out on whether or not you have Covid.
"I think we're going to see those tests come into the market. They're going to be in significant quantities, and they're going to give rapid results and be fairly reliable," he said, adding that these tests would "change the equation" by allowing more testing to come into workplaces and schools. "So things are going to change, I think, very quickly in terms of what we have available to us, the technology, to combat this," he added.
