Added Scrutiny on Coronavirus Testing as Schools Reopen

Summary from the AllSides News Team

The state of COVID-19 coronavirus testing in the U.S. has drawn additional attention and scrutiny as schools move to reopen safely. Some public health officials are calling for widespread testing before schools resume in-person classes; some federal officials are more in favor of less frequent testing more focused on people with symptoms or relationships with affected individuals. Some coverage from left-rated outlets concentrated on the purported need of having testing widely available as a prerequisite for reopening schools. Some reports from right-rated sources focused on examples of areas where positive test rates are decreasing, in turn suggesting that less rigid testing procedures may suffice.
