No. Did you actually watch the press conference? What Trump announced is what Verily is building. But he implied it would be nationwide. It’s not.

> Government in developing a nationwide website that includes information about COVID-19 symptoms, risk and testing information.

This sounds like it’s in addition to what Verily is building. So I doubt it’s the diagnostic and get to testing site function that Verily’s working on.

It’s absolutely separate from the Verily work, because they explicitly say that.

Other than that all we know is it’s “information about COVID symptoms, risk, and testing information”. Which at least aligns roughly with what was announced on Friday.
