President Biden says the new rule requiring private insurance companies to reimburse people for rapid tests will go into effect next week. Still waiting on details but you will have to file a claim to get reimbursed, officials have said. — PolitiTweet.org

Those qualifiers weren't mentioned when CDC changed its guidance last week. Officials didn't say if you tested positive, you should stay home for five more days. And when I interviewed her, Walenksy said, "We wouldn't change our guidance based on the result of that rapid test." — PolitiTweet.org

"...If it's positive, stay home for another five days," Walensky said. "If it's negative, I would say you still really need to wear a mask. You still may have some transmissibility ahead of you. You still should probably not visit grandma. You shouldn't get on an airplane." — PolitiTweet.org

With the CDC set to update (note: not significantly change) its guidance on isolating, it's worth noting what Dr. Walensky told Stephen Colbert last night. She said if people can get a test and want to take one on day five, "here's how I would interpret that test...." — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Manchin says there have been "no conversations" with the White House on Build Back Better since he said he was a no on it. "I feel as strongly today as I did then," he says, mentioning covid, inflation and geopolitical unrest. "No negotiations are happening at this time." — PolitiTweet.org

There has been internal frustration in the days since the CDC announced it was cutting isolation period in half w/ no testing component. The CDC "certainly received feedback and questions about the role of testing," Surgeon General Vivek Murthy tells CNN. https://t.co/eUwb6dmDUj — PolitiTweet.org

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins

The CDC is expected to update its guidance on the recommended isolation period imminently. Could be as soon as today. Dr. Walensky has defended the agency's decision not to include a testing component & said the shortage of rapid tests was not a factor. https://t.co/eUwb6dmDUj — PolitiTweet.org

Following a briefing with his Covid team, President Biden will make “brief remarks” on the rapid spread of the Omicron variant today. That comes amid questions about his plan to distribute free rapid tests and whether the CDC will alter isolation guidance. https://t.co/7v3Jaa16UH — PolitiTweet.org

"Children that are not in school, they're not staying in their rooms," Mayor Adams tells Wolf. "They're out in the street, not wearing a mask. Some are not getting the food they deserve. Many of them are dealing with socialization and other crises that come from being isolated." — PolitiTweet.org

As Omicron continues to spread throughout the U.S., President Biden and Vice President Harris will meet with the White House's covid response team tomorrow afternoon, according to the schedule. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked if he believes a testing component should have been included in the CDC's new isolation guidance, President Biden tells us he will be talking about that later on. — PolitiTweet.org

The FDA has amended its emergency use authorization for the Pfizer vaccine to allow those ages 12-15 to get booster shots, per a release that was just issued. It also shortened the period to get a booster to five months from six months. — PolitiTweet.org

As snow blankets D.C., Air Force One is being de-iced as President Biden prepares to return from Delaware. Federal offices are closed, so the press briefing is canceled but we'll see Biden during an event on boosting competition & reducing prices in the meat-processing industry. — PolitiTweet.org
