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.
