A nationwide website to help Americans figure out if they should be tested for Covid-19 will be ready “early in the week,” Vice President Mike Pence said.

The website would feature a questionnaire that would assess whether someone needs to be tested. Eventually, patients will be able to book a specific time and location to be tested, Pence said.
