Amazon has begun a COVID-19 testing pilot project among the employees at their warehouse in Troutdale, Oregon. Workers are asked to voluntarily self-administer the tests which are then sent to labs that have been contracted by Amazon. The company is still in the process of building the scientific workforce required to handle the full scope of the project once it is expanded to further warehouse locations, and expects to be running the program for two to three years. The cost of running the pilot from April to June is projected to reach $300 million and is part of the estimated $4 billion in COVID-19 related expenses that Amazon expects to incur in the second quarter of this year.
