CDC Discussing Changes to Five-Day Covid Isolation Guideline

The Biden administration is considering changes to Covid-19 recommendations that Americans isolate for at least five days after testing positive, following new timelines adopted by Oregon and California. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been reviewing possible changes to the isolation recommendations and hasn’t ruled out reducing or altering the recommended number of days during which those with Covid-19 should isolate, administration officials said. The possibility of a guidance change was reported earlier by the Washington Post.
