FEMA administrator on delayed COVID testing efforts: Agency's role 'has not changed'
Fox News
Responding to questions about whether the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) should have been surging resources for COVID-19 testing months ago – before the omicron variant of the coronavirus began to infect individuals nationwide – Administrator Deanne Criswell said Friday that the agency was working to support states based on what they had requested.
"We have been supporting them through the delivery and reimbursement for PPE, for the medical staff that we're sending out. That has not changed and that support will continue," she replied.
"And, the additional support that's coming out for the general population is something that FEMA does not participate in and those are the items that you're hearing are going to be announced and available to the general public later," Criswell noted.
