The U.S. CDC plans to drop its five-day COVID-19 isolation recommendations under new guidance planned by the agency, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

 The health agency plans to recommend people who test positive for COVID-19 to take a call on when to end isolation based on their symptoms.People with mild and improving symptoms would no longer need to stay home if they have been fever-free for at least 24 hours, the report said citing CDC officials familiar with the matter, adding the new recommendations would not apply to hospitals and other health-care settings with more vulnerable populations.The CDC did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

 The government has yet to sign off on the guidelines the agency is expected to release in April for public feedback, the report added.

This is actually old OLD news. My neighbor down the block is a nurse at the largest hospital in Milwaukee. She got Covid early on. She was told as soon as your fever is gone, come back to work. This was during the 1st 6 months of Covid.
