All right well take a quick break here on the kron 00 04am morning news, 6. 12 is the time coming up the cdc has updated its guidelines on coronavirus testing and some Health Experts including governor Gavin Newsome say watts and they have quite agree with that well have more with the governor is promising to do coming up.

The cdc updated its coronavirus testing guidelines saying that actually you dont need to be tested they say even if you think you are exposed to somebody who had it. They say if you have not had symptoms dont worry about getting a test even if you had close contact was someone with the virus and these are brand new guidelines that have a lot of doctors concerned according to the new suddenly posted guidelines. Thats the bar which theyve actually lowered because before this dont forget, they said that you should even if youre asymptomatic get tested. Because this serves as a way to Contact Chase and not continue to spread. The virus but this is a sudden change in many Health Experts are shocked by it. I first heard about this change in guidelines. I actually didnt believe it for it seemed entirely bizarre in that it under pets are very basic tenants of how we control an Infectious Disease. Testing and having individuals know their status is foundational to our ability to control an Infectious Disease and certainly our ability to control covid. Infectious disease expert doctor Anthony Fauci says he had nothing to do with it with this change in the recommendations he was actually having throat surgery when the cdc made the changes and now he says he is worried. About these lower recommendations that is not the only one either governor Gavin Newsome also says he doesnt agree with these new guidelines, he thinks its bizarre as well in fact is now promising to actually double down on the daily number of people getting tests for covid19 our Capitol Bureau reporter Ashley Zavala reports. California leaders announced wednesday they into new deal with a major Diagnostics Company to start processing an extra 150,000 tests a day in an effort to disrupt the Testing Market and improve reliability and access for everybody in terms of getting tests and getting more importantly test results back in a timely manner the one 0. 4 billion dollar contract with perkin elmer would more than double the states current daily Testing Capacity to about a quarter of a million covid19 tests a day with the turnaround time of 24 to 48 hours the state is currently processing more than 100,000 tests a day averaging results within 5 to 7 days, but it will be months before the new program is up and running state leaders say the ramp up testing would begin november first and run until march of 2021 Health Officials say this program will also test for the flu to help us move not just schools, not just businesses but really to create a level of insight into how the transmission. Of covid19 is moving interstate wednesdays announcement comes as the cdc issued new testing guidance no longer recommending asymptomatic people get tested even if theyve been exposed to the virus. I dont agree with the new cdc guidance period, full stop and its not the policy in the state of california. We will not be influenced by that change the update comes as the governor prepares to release a new reopening strategy in california. He said those new guidelines will be out friday in sacramento, Ashley Zavala kron 4 news happening tomorrow in the east bay, certain Contra Costa County businesses are going to be able to reopen.
