CDC changes coronavirus testing guidance; asymptomatic people no longer require test

FOX: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now says asymptomatic people no longer need to get tested for the novel coronavirus, a quiet change the federal agency recently made to its online guidelines regarding COVID-19.

“You do not necessarily need a test unless you are a vulnerable individual or your health care provider or state or local public health officials recommend you take one,” the CDC now recommends.

The revised guidelines, posted on Monday, say individuals who have been in close contact with an infected person, typically meaning within six feet and for at least 15 minutes, “do not necessarily need a test” if they do not have symptoms. However, the CDC did state that there are exceptions, including “vulnerable” individuals or healthcare professionals where state or local public health officials may advise testing for the virus.

Further down the page, the CDC warns that “it is important to realize that you can be infected and spread the virus but feel well and have no symptoms.” more here

  1. Must not shed light of truth on their lies. Apparently there is no such thing as asymptomatic transmission so can’t have all those “negative tests” in the pool.

  2. Lick My Ass!

    To 6 months of inconsistencies by people who have not missed 1 paycheck and will probably get bonuses & streets named after them.

    Sorry to offend the members but from them telling us the virus lives for 3 days on stainless steel to this? WTF!
