dufus Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 NEW YORK (WABC) -- In a surprising reversal, the CDC now says you do not necessarily need a test if you have been in close contact with a person with a COVID-19 infection, as long as you don't show symptoms. The new guidelines say you also don't necessarily need a test even if you've been in a high-transmission area and have attended a public or private gathering of more than 10 people without proper social distancing. The CDC says in both of those cases it's now only recommending people get tested who are considered vulnerable or told to get one by a doctor. Meantime, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday no new deaths were reported in New York City, but two deaths were announced from COVID-19 in New York -- matching the state's previous low. New York State has had a rate of positive tests below 1% for 18 straight days. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
