The U.S. is considering adding a negative test to its 5-day isolation guidance for people with asymptomatic COVID-19, the White House’s top medical adviser says. Dr. Anthony Fauci says the CDC got significant pushback on its recommendations last week.
“There has been some concern about why we don’t ask people at that five-day period to get tested,” Fauci said. “Looking at it again, there may be an option in that, that testing could be a part of that, and I think we’re going to be hearing more about that in the next day or so from the CDC.”
“We are definitely in the middle of a very severe surge and uptick in cases,” he said. “The acceleration of cases that we’ve seen is unprecedented, gone well beyond anything we’ve seen before.”
