CDC Considers Ending 5-Day Covid Isolation Guidelines
TL;DR Summary
The CDC is reportedly planning to end its recommendation for a five-day Covid-19 isolation period, allowing those with mild symptoms to return to school or work if fever-free for 24 hours, pending approval from the Biden administration. Other states have already loosened their isolation policies, and the CDC's decision comes amid rising infections and hospitalizations, largely attributed to the JN.1 variant, which has shown reduced effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines.
