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

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.

The point is that you can be sick and not know it and not have symptoms. You can then unknowingly be running around spreading the virus. So we need to test everyone often to avoid spreading the virus.
