On Aug. 11, the CDC announced that it was "streamlining" its COVID guidance. A few changes to note: First, the CDC's previous guidance made a distinction between "quarantine" and "isolation." Quarantine was for people who had been exposed; isolation was for people with symptoms or a positive test. The new guidance has jettisoned "quarantine"—"isolation" is now all by itself...which is fitting. However, the new guidance still makes the same distinction as the previous version: simple exposure vs. symptoms/positive test. For exposure, the CDC recommends wearing a high-quality mask for 10 days and to be tested on day five, instead of quarantining. For those who test positive, stay home and isolate for at least five days and wear a mask after that until at least day 11. Like the previous guidance, the CDC recommends longer isolation for more severe illnesses, and, for those with a weakened immune system, consulting with a doctor before ending isolation. The CDC no longer recommends screening testing of asymptomatic people. The CDC said the new guidance was warranted because "we're in a stronger place today as a nation, with more tools" to protect ourselves and a better understanding of the virus.
