WASHINGTON - A majority of US states have rejected new Trump administration Covid-19 testing guidance in an extraordinary rebuke of the nation's top agency for disease prevention, according to officials at state health agencies and public statements reviewed by Reuters.
Among the states breaking with the federal government are conservative-leaning Texas, Oklahoma and Arizona. The CDC said on Monday that people exposed to Covid-19 but not symptomatic"do not necessarily need a test unless you are a vulnerable individual or your health care provider or State or local public health officials recommend you take one."
He said it places emphasis on testing individuals with symptoms of Covid-19, those with significant exposure, and vulnerable populations, which includes asymptomatic individuals that local public health officials choose to prioritise for testing.
