我就不翻譯了，簡單說就是CDC因為美國第一起未知感染源的社區病例，

所以CDC更改了檢驗的標準，在這之前我們可以說美國半蓋牌，

反正沒有旅遊接觸史就不能驗，不驗就沒有確診病例，

但是由於某位醫生的堅持，所以還是給這位病人進行檢測，



==============================原文如下=================================

US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Robert Redfield
said the agency has sent out new coronavirus testing guidance to health care
workers on Thursday, after what might be the first US case of community
spread of the virus.

Earlier in the outbreak, CDC guidance to doctors in the US was that a patient
had to have a travel history to China, among other criteria. But a patient at
UC Davis Medical Center prompted the CDC to change its guidance.

The patient that prompted the guidance change was transferred from another
Northern California hospital last week. According to a letter from UC Davis
Health, the patient “did not fit the existing CDC criteria for COVID-19, a
test was not immediately administered.” After doctors persisted in their
request for the test, on Sunday, CDC went ahead with testing.

On Wednesday, the CDC confirmed the patient tested positive for the
coronavirus.

That patient became the first US case of unknown origin, according to the
CDC. The patient didn’t have any relevant travel history nor any exposure to
another known patient. The patient may be the first US case of “community
spread” of the virus, officials said.
