As far as I can tell, in Texas at least, counties are still required to report COVID-19 case numbers to the state.

I agree with you regarding testing. According to the White House/ Biden-Harris plan to beat COVID-19, testing goals are listed as follows :

"Ensure all Americans have access to regular, reliable, and free testing.

Double the number of drive-through testing sites.

Invest in next-generation testing, including at home tests and instant tests, so we can scale up our testing capacity by orders of magnitude.

Stand up a Pandemic Testing Board like Roosevelt's War Production Board. It's how we produced tanks, planes, uniforms, and supplies in record time, and it's how we will produce and distribute tens of millions of tests.

Establish a U.S. Public Health Jobs Corps to mobilize at least 100,000 Americans across the country with support from trusted local organizations in communities most at risk to perform culturally competent approaches to contact tracing and protecting at-risk populations."

And:

"Create the Nationwide Pandemic Dashboard that Americans can check in real-time to help them gauge whether local transmission is actively occurring in their zip codes. This information is critical to helping all individuals, but especially older Americans and others at high risk, understand what level of precaution to take."

Of course, a Nationwide Pandemic Dashboard tool is useless without data from testing.

I don't know the status of these "Biden-Harris plan to beat COVID-19" goals.
