This is not correct. The company is called Verily and is owned by Alphabet, which is Google's parent company. It is NOT a part of Google - it's a sibling company.
The site they've developed so far is regional in one state, restricts who can be tested, and is overbooked at this point and not taking on new users.
Meanwhile, MY local medical center (Baylor) has an app we can use to screen for COVID-19, direct you to an online "e-Visit" that will be evaluated by a Baylor provider, and then advise you on next steps. That's real and exists now, unlike this fantasy Google thing Trump was talking about.
