The delay in getting widespread testing in February, 2020, left local and state health departments blind to community transmission of the coronavirus. Now, a year removed from the first drive-thru testing sites, the crush of people seeking tests is gone, replaced by a rush to schedule vaccinations. But testing is an essential tool in the fight to suppress the coronavirus and to identify variants.

The CDC generally recommends a 14-day quarantine for people who may have been exposed to COVID-19. A study from the Yale School of Public Health said that time could be cut in half but only with well-timed testing.
Jeffrey Townsend is with the Yale School of Public Health. He and his team studied workers who quarantined before going back to work on oil rigs.
“And it sounds like a very specialized sort of thing, this oil rig situation. But actually it’s just like the problem that we’re facing if we’re going to visit our elderly aunts and uncles or our elderly parents,” Townsend said.
