Dr. Deborah Birx said she had a 'low-grade fever' Saturday and tested negative for coronavirus. But her symptoms don't line up with what the government is advising for who should get a test.
Trump seemed surprised by Birx's remarks and thanked her for the revelation.
She did not say whether she had had contact with a person who had tested positive for the virus or whether she had any other symptoms other than gastrointestinal symptoms. As such, she did not meet the CDC's current guidelines for testing.Birx was responding a question about why Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul was able to get a test even though he apparently did not meet the CDC's criteria for a test. He revealed over the weekend that he had tested positive and would be self-isolating.
