Spot, when I was in EMS, we had to get tested for everything every few months, and tested again if we may have come into contact with an pathogens. Or got stuck. There's no program like that for hospital workers? They're the ones who need it the most!
if we have a known or suspected exposure, we get re-tested. other than that its a yearly thing. wouldnt be suprised if they change that soon.
i dont know if MDs and interns get tested more regularly, but i doubt it.
There already have been smaller ones, and several thwarted attempts.
When the gov it's self says "It's not a matter of if, but when" what

The Sandy Springs hospital on Monday began testing adults who were patients of the unidentified registered nurse between March 1 and June 22. The nurse could have transmitted the infectious disease during that time, according to state public health specialists.
