CDC Shortens Isolation Period For People With COVID-19
The New York Times (3/1, Mandavilli) reported, “Americans with Covid or other respiratory infections need not isolate for five days before returning to work or school, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday, a striking sign of changing attitudes toward the coronavirus.” Now, “people with respiratory illnesses may resume daily activities if they have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the aid of medications and if their symptoms are improving, agency officials said.”
The AP (3/1, Stobbe) reported the change comes as “most people have some degree of immunity to the coronavirus from vaccinations or from infections. And many people are not following the five-day isolation guidance anyway, some experts say.”
Reuters reported “the guidelines had not been updated since December 2021, when the” CDC “had shortened the recommended isolation time for Americans with asymptomatic cases to five days from 10 days.”
