CDC updates COVID-19 isolation duration guidance
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently posted updated considerations for ending isolation for adults with COVID-19, based on new evidence.
CDC said the guidance does not apply to severely immunocompromised individuals; rather, it is intended to limit unnecessary extended isolation and preserve laboratory testing resources.
Under the guidance, isolation for most people with COVID-19 can be discontinued 10 days after symptom onset, provided there are improvements of symptoms and no fever for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications.
