Lawmakers say any plan to start to reopen the economy has to be based on data and testing.

Dr. Dwayne Breining, the executive director of Northwell Health Labs, spoke with News 12's Elizabeth Hashagen about where we are in terms of testing.

"We are moving in the right direction. Testing is becoming widely available, that should help us categorize this illness and give us good guidance to move forward step by step into hopefully getting back to normalcy," says Dr. Breining.
