With the coronavirus being so new, experts come upon new information daily. With new research emerging, this causes experts to change some of their statements and information that they've released on the virus. For example, when the virus first hit U.S grounds, some of the early CDC'S recommendations were only certain people should be getting tested, considering tests were not as available at the time as they are now. The CDC stated "If you have been in close contact (within 6 feet) of a person with a COVID-19 infection for at least 15 minutes but do not have symptoms, you do not necessarily need a test unless you are a vulnerable individual or your health care provider or State or local public health officials recommend you take one." Now, their recommendations completely conflict that. The CDC now recommends for anyone who has come into contact with someone who is infected should get tested. This may cause confusion to the public because the guidelines are constantly changing with new information being reported. some may still be following old guidelines, maybe because they haven't seen the updated guidelines, or they don't know what to go by, the old or the new?
