"New CDC guidelines won’t require people with COVID to stay home as long."
UPDATE (March 1, 2024): The CDC announced that people who test positive for COVID-19 will no longer need to stay home for five days. The new guidelines recommend that people may resume normal activities when their symptoms have been improving and they have been fever-free without medications for at least 24 hours. The CDC recommends additional precautions, such as improving ventilation, washing hands often, and wearing masks, in the five days after resuming normal activities. These guidelines apply to respiratory viruses including COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.
