COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

Neither (more than 'just the ones that are sick' but not everyone).

Test capability varies by locality but generally speaking, at this point, they are testing:
- People who show up with symptoms;
- People through contact tracing associated with positive cases;
- People in sensitive positions like health-care workers and government leaders;
- People who get a doctor's referral for whatever reason;
- People who show up at test sites (drive-through) and wait in line to get tested.

The scope of testing has expanded substantially in the last two weeks, and will continue to expand. In many locations, if you want a test, you can get it.

Are they saying that people that are not sick need to be tested? If so what is the purpose of this? I have no desire to be tested if I am not sick.
