The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website earlier this week shifted from its position that all close contacts of known Covid-19 cases should be tested, suggesting that those with no symptoms “do not necessarily need a test.”
The WHO had developed guidelines for countries at different stages in their outbreaks, leaving it up to them to adapt their testing strategy to their needs and capacities, depending on the intensity of transmission, she said. “What is really important is that testing be used as an opportunity to find active cases so that they can be isolated and so that contact tracing can also take place,” she said.The controversial policy shift at the CDC was made quietly on its website on Monday amid reports of political interference from the White House.
