The chief executives of Abbott Laboratories and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc have told Amazon they would like to deal with the e-commerce company, though the U.S. federal government is taking up all of their screening capacity at present, the notes said.
The business likewise talked about whether it could begin such tests in a minimum of one storage facility near its Seattle headquarters, the status of which was uncertain. The nature of Amazon’s discussions with the test makers and the precise support they may provide were uncertain.
