UPDATE (March 1, 2024): Please use the newest resource “New CDC Guidelines” instead of the “COVID-19 Isolation” resource because the guidance on isolation with COVID has changed.
New CDC Guidelines
Suggested Caption:
As of March 1, the CDC has announced new guidelines for respiratory illnesses, such as COVID-19, influenza, and RSV. People who test positive for COVID-19 will no longer need to stay home for five days, and may resume normal activities when symptoms have been improving AND they have been fever-free without medications for at least 24 hours. Stay informed!

COVID-19 Isolation
Suggested Caption:
Despite being unverified, 93% of St. Louisans who heard that the CDC was changing its COVID-19 isolation guideline believed it. The potential change was first reported by The Washington Post. However, as of today, the CDC has not confirmed such plans. The CDC currently recommends that if you test positive for COVID-19, stay home for at least 5 days and isolate from others in your home.
