Reynolds acknowledges Test Iowa glitches, says it can now ramp up [View all]
https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2020/05/14/reynolds-acknowledges-test-iowa-glitches-says-it-can-now-ramp-up/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=a5030666-64ba-40b2-a72a-554adf7dc9b1Gov. Kim Reynolds said Thursday that the $26 million Test Iowa program, which has yet to perform the anticipated number of COVID-19 tests, will soon be ramping up its work and responding more quickly to Iowans with concerns.
The Test Iowa program has been beset with complaints about limited access to testing and delays in informing Iowans of their test results. The contractor hired manage the program, Nomi Health, is supposed to be performing 3,000 COVID-19 tests per day, but so far has fallen far short of that goal.
In Nebraska, some state lawmakers have accused Nomi Health of failing to meet the minimum number of tests to be be performed. In Utah, where questions have been raised about the accuracy of the company’s testing, Nomi Health has declined to join other major laboratories in a joint experiment to confirm the quality of one another’s work.

Asked if she was satisfied with the performance of the Test Iowa contractor, Nomi Health, Reynolds described the state’s relationship with the Utah company as a great partnership.
I wonder if Ashton Kutcher will give us our money back?
