Have you been exposed to a positive case? You no longer have to isolate yourself
No more quarantine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) noted that isolation is no longer recommended for adults and children after they have been exposed to COVID-19.
The CDC has implemented guidance that more closely aligns with what people are already doing in emergency response as the pandemic winds down.
Likewise, the CDC indicated that it seeks to reverse the “test to stay” policywhich required children exposed to COVID-19 to submit a negative test to continue in the classroom or child care settings.
“These updates make it easier for schools to assess their risk and take the necessary steps to protect students and staff,” said Greta Massetti, chief of the CDC’s Prevention and Field Epidemiology Branch, in a call with reporters Thursday.
