Tens-of-thousands of COVID-19 testing kits will soon be on the market thanks to the cooperative efforts of two area companies. Congressman Mark Pocan of Madison tells Your Talk Show on WCLO Exact Sciences and Promega are retooling and could produce some 60,000 tests a week, with plans to ramp up to 120,000. Pocan says Wisconsin needs to utilize this resource. He says with this increased testing capability, the state’s economy could re-open earlier than expected.
