The US Centers for Disease Control is considering adding a negative test to recommendations on a shortened isolation period for people with asymptomatic infections, US President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser said.

The US Centers for Disease Control is considering adding a negative test to recommendations on a shortened isolation period for people with asymptomatic infections, President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser said on ABC's "This Week."
That could make having easy access to tests a flashpoint at a time many Americans are struggling to obtain them.
Last week, US health officials cut the recommended isolation time to five days from 10 after after a positive test. Fauci acknowledged "pushback" to the shortened span without any further test that might indicate if a person is still infected.
