Given what we currently know about COVID-19 and the Omicron variant, CDC is shortening the recommended time for isolation from 10 days for people with COVID-19 to 5 days, if asymptomatic, followed by 5 days of wearing a mask when around others. The change is motivated by science demonstrating that the majority of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after. Therefore, people who test positive should isolate for 5 days and, if asymptomatic at that time, they may leave isolation if they can continue to mask for 5 days to minimize the risk of infecting others.

Your link does not work. So if most people get tested because they have already had symptoms odds are they already spread it to others. This sounds more to me like they know their mandates are pretty much toast. SO to appease their more fearful believers they will hold this up as "following the science." Which will also help torpedo their rationale for vac mandates.

If they base this 5 day thing on "motivated by science", what kind of "motivated by science" was the 10 day thing based on ? š¾š„„

I think you are right, and I think it says a lot about the science they were pushing previously, not supporting the demands they have been making all along.
It really is time for them to hang up the towel. My concern at this point is, what is next on the menu?
Thanks. I fixed the link.

Watch it boom right before our "president" has major health problems. Then everyone that voted for this mess will have open legs in charge. God help us
All employees should stay home if they are sick until at least 24 hours after their fever* (temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 37.8 degrees Celsius or higher) is gone. Temperature should be measured without the use of fever-reducing medicines (medicines that contains ibuprofen or acetaminophen).
Note: Not everyone with flu will have a fever. Individuals with suspected or confirmed flu, who do not have a fever, should stay home from work at least 4-5 days after the onset of symptoms. Persons with the flu are most contagious during the first 3 days of their illness.

So now it's okay to infect other individuals during your day 6 7 8 9 and 10 of being infected?

They may know their mandates are toast, but the CDC also slipped in language changing "fully vaccinated" to mean two shots + booster.
So at one fell swoop a good chunk of the country just become unvaccinated and are now living under threat of the 100 employee vaccine mandates depending on how the SCOTUS rules.
