Verily’s Baseline COVID-19 Testing Program began earlier this year in collaboration with federal, state, and local government health authorities, as well as private health organizations to expand access to testing in areas with high volumes of known cases. The Baseline COVID-19 Testing Program is a connected solution that supports individuals through screening, testing, and receiving results safely and quickly. The Program is in operation at more than 140 testing sites across 13 states and has supported the administration of more than 284,000 COVID-19 tests. Plans are also in place to continue to expand testing locations nationally.

“Cognizant’s expertise in life sciences is critical for scaling our efforts to increase COVID-19 testing, and we are excited to collaborate with them to address this global pandemic,” said Ashraf Hanna, Verily’s Chief Operations Officer. “Cognizant’s ability to support our technology with a knowledgeable team of representatives helps those seeking testing easily and effectively use our system to schedule COVID-19 tests and receive their results, so that those testing positive can take precautions to stem the spread of the virus.”
