State of Maryland Completes Utilization of 500,000 Korean LabGenomics Tests

Operation Enduring Friendship Leads to New Partnership Between LabGenomics and CIAN Diagnostics for 1 Million COVID-19 Tests

ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Larry Hogan today announced that the State of Maryland has completed its utilization of 500,000 LabGenomics COVID-19 test kits acquired from South Korea. Acquired in the spring through Operation Enduring Friendship, these tests have served as the backbone of the state’s long-term testing strategy.

Building on this success, LabGenomics announced earlier on Tuesday that it has entered into a separate agreement with CIAN Diagnostics—a clinical laboratory in Frederick—for the purchase of 1 million additional COVID-19 tests.

“These LabGenomics tests and these two companies will continue to save lives and make a real difference on the front lines here in our state,” said Governor Hogan. “We want to again thank the Republic of Korea and this great company, LabGenomics, for coming to our aid when we desperately needed it back in the dark days of this crisis.”

The State of Maryland utilized the LabGenomics tests at three separate labs, where the tests performed highly accurately and effectively with a quick turnaround time: the State Public Health Laboratory, the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and CIAN Diagnostics. These tests were primarily utilized at the state’s community-based testing sites, as well as nursing homes, other congregate care settings, hotspots, and outbreaks.

In addition, the State of Maryland spearheaded the formation of a Bipartisan Interstate Testing Compact with the Rockefeller Foundation for the acquisition of rapid point-of-care antigen tests. Through this compact, Maryland successfully acquired 250,000 BD Veritor tests, and deployed them at nursing homes and congregate care settings across the state.

The State of Maryland has now conducted nearly 5.1 million COVID-19 tests, and continues to expand testing capacity during the COVID-19 surge. Last Saturday, the state announced a record 66,618 tests in a single day. Testing is widely available in Maryland without a doctor’s order, and more than 220 sites are available statewide.

  1. Every day you continue to open your treasonous mouth is a dark day. I Bet your bank account ( or someone related to you)is better due to your scam. as most workers and small bussiness continues to suffer..

  2. “In addition, the State of Maryland spearheaded the formation of a Bipartisan Interstate Testing Compact with the Rockefeller Foundation”

    You do realize he made a deal with both of these luciferian swamp groups right!!!

    1. True, you beat me to it. This explains why results have been so drastically incorrect many times. Get tested one day it’s positive and the next day negative. On and on. Hogan is starved for attention. Wonder if he thinks he is on the trail to our White House. Lol The boy is starting to be as pitiful as the other dude that held us hostage in Annapolis. He began the first day or two as a republican, but went down hill each day afterwards. He showed his colors long before, but when he started slamming our good president, he finished his political days.

  3. Are these the NON FDA approved test kits that Adolph Hogan put under locked guarded secret location? If these kits are so accurate then why Adolph Hogan use them sooner and possibly save lives? What was Adolph Hogan and wife / family kick back for brokerage of these deals

  4. I read a can of Coca-Cola tested positive for Covid 19 … such a farce … in a rolling 20 year study deaths in America have not increased

  5. I don’t believe for a second that they actually used these faulty tests.
    Hogan had to get rid of them somehow because he bought them from South Korea with lots of graft going to his wife.

  6. Hogan is tied to South Korea because it is his wife’s homeland he is just like the Bidens anything to put $ into their pockets, just like his being a Republican on paper and agrees with everything the Democrats do and wholly supports them. And he was re-elected go figure Maryland’s worst Governor ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
