The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expected to revise its guidelines regarding isolation for individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19, according to a report by The Washington Post. The anticipated update comes as new studies shed light on the prevalence of long COVID and its impact on various demographic groups.
Currently, the CDC recommends isolating for at least five days after testing positive for COVID-19. If symptoms persist, individuals are advised to continue isolating. However, the forthcoming guidelines are expected to place greater emphasis on the individual's symptoms rather than providing a specific number of isolation days.
