Since March, the 14-day quarantine has been the rule. Now the CDC is revising that guideline and saying a 10-day quarantine might be all that’s necessary.
According to the new guidelines, if the person has no symptoms then a 10-day quarantine is required, and if they’ve tested negative for COVID-19, a seven-day quarantine should be observed. This revision isn’t a permission slip to be reckless after the quarantine is over, however. People should still monitor their symptoms after quarantine and exercise caution.
