Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday said that any American, with a doctor's order, can now be tested for coronavirus.
The move appears to expand criteria that had previously limited testing to patients who had been hospitalized, absent certain extenuating circumstances such as contact with a coronavirus patient.
Criteria set by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has now called for "any American (to) be tested (for coronavirus), no restrictions, subject to doctors' orders," as Pence said when describing the new policy.
