The guidelines suggest that certain people might not NEED to be tested. Not that it will be forbidden to them.

I recommend, always, reading the source of articles, when those articles are about facts that come from other sources.

Here are the actual guidelines:

Overview of Testing for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) | CDC
This is dated Aug 24 new recommendations are Aug 26. No need for test even if exposed. Sounds fishy.
