FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention came out with new testing guidelines Monday, telling people who were exposed to the coronavirus that they don’t necessarily need to be tested if they don’t have symptoms.

CDC Director Robert Redfield issued a statement late Wednesday night clarifying the guidance.

“Everyone who needs a COVID-19 test can get a test. Everyone who wants a test does not necessarily need a test,” Redfield said. “The key is to engage the needed public health community in the decision with the appropriate follow-up action.”

The statement didn’t actually change the guidelines.

Gov. Andy Beshear believes the CDC will change its mind eventually.

“Now if what they were trying to say— which is what they weren’t say— is if you’ve been in that situation and you’re going to quarantine for 14 days, ok, we’re going to take that too,” Beshear said. “But to suggest that you could just go on with your daily life, not take steps to prevent the spread of COVID or determine if you have it, I mean, that’s just plain wrong with everything that we know about this virus.”

Beshear said he has concerns about some testing supplies running low, but that just highlights why we need to be cautious about the coronavirus.
