California recently adjusted its guidelines on how a person should isolate after testing positive for COVID-19, distancing itself from U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) rules.

State guidelines released this month recommend that people who test positive and have mild symptoms can end their isolation if their symptoms improve, and if they’ve been without a fever—without taking medication—for 24 hours or more, according to a statement.
