On May 12, 2020, the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), in partnership with the State of Connecticut, announced that it is expanding its COVID-19 testing capacity from 550 tests per day to 20,000 tests per day, between now and early Jul., for Connecticut residents.

This increased capacity builds upon the Laboratoryﾒs ongoing COVID-19 testing collaborations with the Connecticut Department of Public Health and more than 30 Connecticut-based hospitals and health care facilities.
