Federal health officials may soon cut recommendations for how long people should isolate after testing positive for COVID-19.

People who have a confirmed COVID-19 infection are currently told by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to remain separate from others for 10 full days from when symptoms first appear, if 24 hours have also gone by without a fever and other symptoms are improving.
