People in Ontario who test positive for COVID-19 no longer have to isolate for five days but should stay home until their fever clears and their symptoms have improved for at least 24 hours, the province’s top doctor said Wednesday.
Dr. Kieran Moore said people should also wear a mask “in any setting” for 10 full days from the start of their symptoms, even if they feel better.
