CDC Shortens Quarantine Period to 5 days

danna gomez December 28, 2021

The CDC today announced changes to the isolation and quarantine guidelines for exposure to Covid 19 and it’s variants. They have shortened both periods to 5 days. They have also updated the quarantine criteria to take into consideration whether you have received a booster vaccination. We will be updating our policy to reflect these new guidelines starting today.

From the CDC

Given what we currently know about COVID-19 and the Omicron variant, the CDC is shortening the recommended time for isolation from 10 days for people with COVID-19 to 5 days, if asymptomatic, followed by 5 days of wearing a mask when around others. Per the CDC, the change is motivated by science demonstrating that the majority of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after.

New guidelines

  • If you test positive for Covid and have no symptoms, the isolation period has been reduced to 5 days. Also, you should wear a mask for 5 additional days.

  • If you have a close contact and have been vaccinated &/or a booster shot within 6 months, then you do not need to quarantine. However, you do need to wear a mask for 10 days and test on the 5th day.

  • If you have a close contact and are unvaccinated or received your vaccination more than 6 months ago with no booster, the new guidelines recommend the same quarantine period of 5 days and testing on day 5.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Danna for clarification. As always, call the office if you have any concerns regarding a close contact or are not feeling well.
