Fauci says testing requirement under consideration for isolation guidelines
CBSN
Washington — Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Biden, said Sunday that the administration is weighing the addition of a negative COVID-19 testing requirement to its guidelines for isolation —amid a backlash against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) after it halved the isolation period for those who are asymptomatic.
Fauci told ABC News' "This Week" that Americans would likely be hearing more about changes to the CDC's isolation guidelines for people who test positive for COVID-19 "in the next day or so" after there was "some concern" about why current instructions do not include a testing requirement for asymptomatic people at the end of the five-day isolation period.
"That is something that is now under consideration," Fauci said. "The CDC is very well aware that there has been some pushback about that. Looking at it again, there may be an option in that, that testing could be a part of that."
