Austin, Texas, March 19, 2019 – Elligo Health Research, a healthcare-enabling research organization, is working with Verily to support the Project Baseline COVID-19 Program.

Three initial sample-collection sites were launched Monday, March 16 in San Mateo County and Santa Clara County. Additional locations are expected in the coming weeks.
