On Tuesday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) responded to reports that the agency would soon change its COVID-19 isolation guidance.
The Washington Post, citing alleged agency sources, said that the CDC would change the guidance in the spring to say that people don’t need to isolate once they have been without a fever for 24 hours and that their symptoms are improving or mild. The new recommendations would not apply to hospitals and other health care settings with more vulnerable populations.
