Report: Controversial COVID testing guidelines that said people without symptoms didn't need to be tested, even if they'd been exposed, were posted to the CDC site without going through scientific review and over the objections of CDC scientists.

The recommendation originated with the CDC and was revised with input from the agency's director, Dr. Robert Redfield, according to Trump administration officials.that HHS staff did the rewriting and then"dropped" the guidance into the CDC's public website without first going through the agency's scientific review process.coronavirus

It's not clear why the recommendation on testing bypassed the usual CDC review, according to Adm. Brett Giroir, the Trump administration's testing coordinator and an assistant secretary at the HHS, the CDC's parent organization.
