Trump says he urged team to 'slow' COVID-19 testing
At his first rally since the pandemic hit the country, US President Donald Trump says he is encouraging health officials in his administration to slow down testing, arguing that increased tests lead to more cases being discovered. The president has claimed falsely on several occasions that surges of COVID-19 in several states can be explained by increased diagnostic tests.
