Research suggests asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic people are likely why coronavirus continues to spread relentlessly. Experts say that as soon as supplies are available, everyone feeling even slightly sick needs to get tested.
, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, says he believes that the Trump administration has some reason to set those guidelines.
As soon as possible, the criteria for who gets tested will need to be broadened, he says. First it should be extended to close contacts of the very ill, so that they can be quarantined and monitored. Then the tests should be given to mildly ill people to see whether they have the disease. And finally, a segment of the population should be tested at random, to look for asymptomatic spreaders."That's the priority list, I think most experts agree," he says.
The South Korean effort has seen testing sites and quarantine centers spring up across the country. It has required the mobilization of industry, government, and health care workers at every level. But it seems to have worked. For now, the small country has managed to hold the virus at bay and keep down deaths from the disease.
