If you test positive for the virus, you should isolate at home, and you can leave isolation on the sixth day if you are asymptomatic or fever-free. You should plan to wear a mask around others through day 10 unless you get two negative test results.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday updated its guidelines for what to do if someone tests positive for the virus or is exposed to someone who has COVID-19.“This guidance acknowledges that the pandemic is not over, but also helps us move to a point where COVID-19 no longer severely disrupts our daily lives,” the CDC’s Greta Massetti said in a news release.
Also, on Thursday, the Food and Drug Administration issued new guidance for how to use rapid at-home COVID-19. In some cases, the regulator said people should take up to 3 at-home COVID-19 tests to rule out an infection.
