\n The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now recommending that anyone who has been exposed to someone infected with COVID-19 to get tested \u2014 even if they\u2019re not showing symptoms.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need a test\u201d if you\u2019ve been in close contact with someone with COVID-19, the agency advised in new guidance posted to its website<\/a> Friday.<\/p>\n

Close contact is typically defined as being within six feet for at least 15 minutes with someone who is COVID-positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to the significance of asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission, this guidance further reinforces the need to test asymptomatic persons, including close contacts of a person with documented SARS-CoV-2 infection,\u201d the CDC wrote.<\/p>\n

The agency\u2019s new guidance marks a reversal from its controversial recommendations from late August that those not showing symptoms may not need to seek testing.<\/p>\n

The earlier guidance puzzled experts, who have been warning for months that asymptomatic COVID-19 carriers do spread the virus to others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis makes no sense,\u201d Dr. Leana Wen, a physician and former Baltimore health commissioner tweeted at the time<\/a> about the revised guidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople without symptoms account for up to 50% of transmission,\u201d Wen wrote. \u201cWe need MORE testing, not less.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asymptomatic patients account for 40 percent of all coronavirus infections \u2014 and half of all transmissions occur before symptoms app<\/a>ear the CDC estimates.<\/p>\n

The earlier guidance was not written by CDC scientists and was posted despite their objections, The New York Times reported<\/a> Thursday.\n <\/div>\n
