格隆汇2月19日｜据《华盛顿邮报》引述两名美国联邦公共卫生官员及内部文件指，美国特朗普政府正评估销毁或弃置数以千万份新冠测试包的成本。该等测试包价值逾5亿美元，本来安排免费赠予美国人。报道引述内部文件指，美国卫生及公共服务部(HHS)正考虑两个选项，即弃置，或持续付运逾1.6亿份测试包。官员称，仅有少部分测试包已过期。文件指，作为遵守行政指令的一部分，政府雇员被要求分辨出与新冠相关的举措、项目及网页。特朗普上任后取消了许多前任总统拜登的行政指令，包括一些应对新冠的措施及增加测试包供应。报道引述公共卫生专家指，同意现时没需要免费付运测试包予美国家庭，因新冠感染较对上一波为少；但认为保留测试包是保险之举，因新冠疫情或演化成重大爆发。
