The CDC is now considering adding testing requirements to its new isolation guidelines for asymptomatic Covid patients, Dr. Fauci says.

Last week, the CDC shortened its isolation recommendations for those who have tested positive for Covid but show no symptoms from 10 days to five. Fauci, the president's chief medical adviser, said that the agency is now debating adding to its guidance,said Sunday on ABC News'"This WeekIt's unclear whether a positive test would require further isolation or whether an asymptomatic patient would be free to move about, so long as they're masked.

“We also don’t know that antigen testing is a good indication of transmissibility at this stage of infection,” she said during a White House briefing. “On the other hand, we know that after five days, people are much less likely to transmit the virus and that masking further reduces the risk.” He told Hayes that the approval of tests did not include whether or not a test could predict if someone is infectious.

It’s just a cold

Where are all these tests? Can’t find one in my whole city

Do ppl really still trust Dr. Fauci ? He's been completely incompetent and has been caught in lies. Why is he even still in charge is insane? NoPlanJoe

Whose making the money on these ridiculous tests

the center for disease and capitalism? untrustworthy

I Expect that I will be standing in line in three months time for my fourth booster jab and six months later my fifth this is because there are so many non-vaxed people out there unfortunately and oh yes I have my flu shot

The CDC has failed America

I had direct contact with someone who tested positive last week, but can’t get a test because I haven’t had symptoms - so I’ll go to work tomorrow and hope I don’t get anyone else sick.

Lol I thought she punched him in the face lol

If you test positive ... ISOLATE for 14 days. this is no time to get complacent.

If you can’t see the dark that is sucking all the light, you deserve this injection and to be controlled

Covid-19 is a lie. NO TESTS!NO VACCINES!NO ISOLATION!We only need freedom and democracy!💪💪💪

I was really hoping for mandatory resiliency pizza.

CDCgov Please get it right the first time.

Yeh maybe CDCgov should of done that from jump when you changed isolation guidelines after the CEO of Delta sent a letter to the WH requesting said change.

At this point you’re all sheep for listening to anyone in government and especially the media. All this did was show how easy the mass population can be controlled and manipulated.

“Or you know…whatever you guys think. Ok? We cool?” -CDC

It is almost like they are making things up as they go along.

NBC the new CNN

kenm77 I am glad to hear this. Better to be safer, than to take any risk. Testing also provides documentation should you need it for health purposes down the road....

💰💰💰💰💰 business ladies and gentleman

“we know that after five days, people are much less likely to transmit the virus and that masking further reduces the risk.” So the CDCgov ADMIT PEOPLE TRANSMIT AFTER 5 DAYS and MASKING FURTHER PREVENTS THAT SPREAD.

I wish CDC wasn't so vulnerable and sensitive to public pressure and public opinion. They should make decision based on science and ignore everything and everyone else.

lol

CDC considers COVID-19 test requirement for asymptomatic: FauciThe guidelines announced Dec. 27 have since received criticism from many health professionals for not specifying a negative antigen test as a requirement for leaving isolation. As long as the companies he is receiving money from keep profiting then he will continue to put requirements in place to protect himself financially. Self preservation at its finest. Look up his checkered past and see for yourself.
