\n ALBANY \u2014 Gov. Andrew Cuomo blasted guidance recently altered by the Centers for Disease Control Wednesday, calling the federal agency\u2019s policy changes \u201cshameful\u201d and \u201cschizophrenic.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Monday, the CDC altered previous guidance saying it is no longer mandatory to require individuals to get a coronavirus test even if they\u2019ve been in close contact with a person who has tested positive for the virus.<\/p>\n

The new recommendations still encourage individuals to \u201cconsider\u201d getting a COVID-19 test if they have been within six feet of a person who has tested positive for the virus.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CDC put out new guidance that really strains credulity,\u201d the third-term Democrat explained to reporters during a Monday conference call.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only plausible rationale is they want fewer people taking tests because, as the President has said, if we don\u2019t take tests you won\u2019t know that people are COVID-positive and the number of COVID-positive people will come down. Yes, that is true. That is his policy of \u2018deny the problem,’\u201d he charged.<\/p>\n

Cuomo has consistently touted New York\u2019s own robust testing capacity.<\/p>\n

The state completed around 71,000 tests as of Tuesday, recording a .79 percent positive infection rate in total.<\/p>\n

The statewide infection rate has also been below one percent for 19 straight days.<\/p>\n

New York has been hit with the most deaths in the United States \u2014 over 32,000 confirmed and presumed deaths according to Johns Hopkins University.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe history books are going to record this. Shame on the people in the CDC. These will be indefensible actions in the light of history. Indefensible. What possible rationale is there to say, \u201cYou\u2019re in close contact with a COVID positive person and you don\u2019t need a test.\u201d What plausible rationale?\u201d he seethed.<\/p>\n

Another reporter asked Cuomo if the plans on following another set of recently edited CDC guidance saying a two-week quarantine for travel<\/a>ers flying from high infection states no longer need to isolate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not gonna follow the CDC guidance, I consider it political propaganda,\u201d the governor declared, backing up his rule requiring individuals flying or driving into New York, New Jersey and Connecticut to self-isolate for 14 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would caution private companies against following the CDC guidance. I think it is wholly indefensible on its face, I think it is inherently self contradictory. It is the exact opposite of what the CDC has been saying.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo either the CDC is schizophrenic or they\u2019re admitting error in their first position, or this is just political dictation. In any of those events, I would urge people not to follow the CDC guidance, I\u2019d urge them to follow the state guidance,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Cuomo has admitted he too has made mistakes handling the pandemic, chiefly that he didn\u2019t issue a mandatory mask order earlier.<\/p>\n

He has also walked back nursing home policy previously defended as a product of CDC replication, nursing home policy, defending a controversial March 25 order barring long term care facilities from denying patients based on their COVID-19 positive test results.<\/p>\n

This order was changed in early May.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
