The recommendations aren't August 26. They are August 24. The New York Times didn't publish the article (or op-ed - as I said it was behind a paywall) until 2 days later. The most current update from the CDC is August 24.
And no, it doesn't say there IS no need for the exposed. It says there MAY NOT BE A NEED even if exposed, if the person is asymptomatic and not at risk.
There are criteria. You have to be able to check off all the categories as applied to you. If you don't, then you probably should be tested. If you do check off all the categories, then you MIGHT NOT need the test - but you MAY get tested anyway. No one is forbidding anyone from getting tested.
