According to the new updated CDC guidelines, the pandemic era for isolation at home for 5 days after testing positive for COVID-19 has ended.  CDC now urges people who are sick with symptoms of respiratory viruses to stay at home until they are fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication and symptoms are improving.

You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:

• Your symptoms are getting better overall, AND
• You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).
• When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors.
  • Keep in mind that you may still be able to spread the virus that made you sick, even if you are feeling better. You are likely to be less contagious at this time, depending on factors like how long you were sick or how sick you were.
  • If you develop a fever or you start to feel worse after you have gone back to normal activities, stay home and away from others again until, for at least 24 hours, both are true: your symptoms are improving overall, and you have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication). Then take added precaution for the next 5 days.
