The US Food and Drug Administration is continuing its run of virtual town halls aimed at labs and manufacturers that are developing – or have developed – diagnostic tests for COVID-19.

The FDA announced on 29 July that it will extend its town hall series on the regulation and development of diagnostics for the coronavirus through the end of August.

The agency has held 63 of the webinars since March 2020. (Click here for replays and transcripts of each of those meetings.)

The next four town halls will take place on 4, 11, 18 and 25 August. They’ll begin at 12:15 pm EST and be an hour in length. Registration isn’t necessary.

Here’s the dial-in information: 669-254-5252; webinar ID: 161 364 3459; participant ID: #; passcode: 422047.
