President Trump thanked Google during a Friday press conference for developing a website "very quickly" to facilitate testing - which he said 1,700 engineers were working on.
The site will help people evaluate their symptoms and direct them to a nearby "drive through" location for testing (while conveniently tracking potential cases).
Following the announcement, the New York Times reported that "Trump's comments caught Google completely off guard and executives rushed to issue a statement on Friday afternoon to temper expectations."
Yet on Sunday, Google CEO Sundar Pinchai confirmed that the site is set to launch on Monday.
In a Sunday tweet, Trump slammed the "Fake and Corrupt News," for not calling Google.
