Dr. Anthony Fauci said that the CDC is considering loosening its isolation length recommendations for fully vaccinated individuals who test positive for Covid-19 but don't have symptoms.
Fauci's comments were the strongest yet from the nation's top infectious disease expert in favor of revisiting the CDC's isolation guidance, which recommends 10 full days for people who have the virus, even if asymptomatic.
While they believe the Omicron variant to be more contagious, scientists are still waiting on data on the severity of the variant in the US compared with others, but so far, most Omicron cases appear to be mild among those fully vaccinated. Fauci also said Tuesday that Americans who are fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19 should feel comfortable traveling for the holidays and gathering with family who are also fully vaccinated and boosted -- so long as they're careful.
