Although the Biden administration has had to deal with a severe wave of infection recently and for the first time this week over half a million new carriers were registered in one day in the US (national and world record), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to slow down, despite the danger of the Omicron strain. "Especially contagious.
The CDC, the federal agency that believes in drafting guidelines for those found to be positive for the virus and in fact the executive body of the corona administration, announced earlier this week to shorten the duration of isolation for people infected with the virus from 10 to 5 days as long as they show no symptoms .
But on Wednesday night this body went one step further and announced that it is possible to shorten the isolation to 5 days even if symptoms still appear, as long as "they are improving" and no high fever is measured.
That is, a person who is positive for corona and has not yet recovered in terms of symptoms but they become milder, may leave isolation after five days, as long as in the last day of isolation he has not had a high fever.
It will be emphasized that even after isolation the guideline for those infected is to wear masks in any interaction with people for the five days after leaving the isolation.
The U.S. does not actually have a body that can enforce home isolation anyway, but that restriction may change the conduct of large companies and entities when it comes to their policies toward their employees.
