People who might be quarantined, who could have a test, but in general, where I Would recommend it. And I did it this every day - is to tell families to take a moment to do a moment to do what I call a risk-benefit determination. If I have someone at home, who Is elderly, someone who has an underlying condition - I really want to put this person at a risk of someone who could innocently or inadvertently infect them inadvertently?
