Under Stream 1, to support surge testing capacity through the development of COVID-19 Testing Assistance Response Teams (CTARTS), the CRC is expected to build capacity to surge up to 10 teams of 40 members simultaneously for periods of 2-4 weeks in duration, with an activation window of 24-72 hours.
