CDC New Guidance Ends 5-Day COVID-19 Isolation Recovery Guideline
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that those recovering from COVID-19 no longer need to stay isolated for five days after symptoms end.
According to updated recommendations from the CDC, people with COVID-19 should avoid contact with others and remain at home until at least 24 hours after their symptoms improve and they do not have a fever, without medication.
âTodayâs announcement reflects the progress we have made in protecting against severe illness from COVID-19,â CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen said in a statement. âHowever, we still must use the common sense solutions we know work to protect ourselves and others from serious illness from respiratory viruses; this includes vaccination, treatment, and staying home when we get sick.â
They also stated that you should continue to wear a mask that fits properly, avoid close contact with people, get tested, and practice better hygiene during the five days that follow feeling better and not having a fever.
"A case of Covid no longer means isolating for five days, according to the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released Friday. Itâs the latest sign of the virusâs normalization four years after it upended our lives.
You should now follow the same precautions with Covid as you take with the flu, according to new guidelines from the CDC. That means staying home until youâve gone a day with no fever and symptoms start to improve. Take other precautions for the next five days, including wearing a mask and limiting close contact with others.
Those are the same steps the CDC recommends for other respiratory viruses."

They are basically saying treat it like the flu... gee, I recall the "conspiracy theorist" saying the same thing four years ago.

4 years ago no one was vaccinated and hardly anyone had acquired immunity.
Things change.

The vaccine hardly prevents death and doesn't stop spread. People knew four years ago it wasn't as serious as it was being portrayed to the general population. They were shut down from speaking out and labeled as conspiracy theorist.
Don't try to rewrite history.

I would say ignoring vaccination and acquired immunity as to why advice is different now is rewriting history.
So what's the deal? Is COVID slowly killing itself?

Lot's of fast changes always going on with COVID.
Latest is The CDC says now you can mingle in Public after 24 hours instead of 5 days, after their symptoms improve.
Details getting better.
So what's the deal? Is COVID slowly killing itself?
No mention of The VAX having anything to do with it?
But they STILL say you should wear a MASK!! (roflol) đ¤
