\n The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that COVID-19 tests \u201cmay be considered\u201d for anyone exposed after new guidance suggested people without symptoms might not need one.<\/p>\n

Dr. Robert Redfield clarified in a statement late Wednesday that \u201ctesting may be considered for all close contacts of confirmed or probable Covid-19 patients,\u201d CNBC reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cTesting is meant to drive actions and achieve specific public health objectives,\u201d Redfield said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone who needs a Covid-19 test, can get a test. Everyone who wants a test does not necessarily need a test; the key is to engage the needed public health community in the decision with the app<\/a>ropriate follow-up action,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Redfield defended the new guidance saying that they were designed with input from the White House Coronavirus Task Force, adding that they \u201creceived appropriate attention, consultation and input from task force experts.\u201d<\/p>\n

His remarks come after the new guidelines Monday concerned some experts, who pointed out that people without symptoms are responsible for a significant portion of new infections.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople without symptoms account for up to 50% of transmission,\u201d Dr. Leana Wen, a physician and former Baltimore health commissioner wrote on Twitter<\/a>. \u201cWe need MORE testing, not less.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
