Changes in criteria for tests are behind the drop in test numbers — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChannel 12 cites three factors for the recent precipitous drop in coronavirus tests each day:
– Proximity to the weekend, when fewer tests are generally conducted.
– A change of criteria for tests, that has led health officials to stop testing asymptomatic people, unless they have been exposed to a known patient.
– A change in policy for quarantined individuals to end their self-isolation. Previously quarantined individuals required two negative tests but now they can automatically end quarantine after 10 days.
