News Wrap: CDC rescinds guidance about not testing asymptomatic people

In our news wrap Friday, the CDC rescinded guidance that discouraged coronavirus testing for people who have no symptoms. The New York Times reported officials at the Department of Health and Human Services had posted the language on the CDC website over scientists’ objections. Also, China stepped up military drills near Taiwan, in a major show of force against a U.S. envoy’s visit to Taipei.
