Oregon plans to test all workers and residents in large senior care homes for the coronavirus by Sept. 30 and then retest all workers once a month, public health officials announced Monday.

"The state cannot implement their plan with the current limited supply of testing transport media and swabs," Sen. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden and Reps. Earl Blumenauer, Peter DeFazio, Suzanne Bonamici and Kurt Schrader wrote.
