The CDC has changed how long you have in quarantine after Covid-19
Symptoms - not tests - must be used to determine if a coronavirus is always contagious.
One of the most important aspects of the control of the propagation of Covid-19 ensures that anyone has been infected remains in quarantine to others that the virus executes its course and is no longer able to transmit it to others . Since the beginning of the pandemic, researchers have tried to locate exactly how individuals remain infectious after their first symptoms appear - identify themselves when they can safely return to their work, their families and living without Fear of infecting others. Initially, the CDC relied on coronavirus tests to determine if the virus was always infectious. However, new research has inspired the organization of government health atchange their recommendations.
On the basis of new research, CDC's advice now indicates thatPeople with lightweight COVID-19 cases can stop isolating after only 10 days and do not necessarily need to be tested before returning to work - they just need to be free of fever for 24 hours..
Symptoms, do not test, should be the gauge
They explain that the symptoms - not test - should be used to assess how an infectious person is, so that a person is "not unnecessary isolated and excluded from work or other responsibilities".
Remember that people seriously Covid-19 - mainly those found in the hospital - can be infectious for much longer, even up to 20 days. However, the CDC emphasizes that the majority of CVIV-19 grave patients from 198% - more than 88% - were no longer infectious after 10 days and 95% could not infect from the 20 days.
In the document, they also point out that "the reinfection with SARS-COV-2 has not yet been definitely confirmed in all the people recovered to date", "and" if, and if so, people can be reinfected with SARS-COV-2 remain unknown and is a topic of investigation. "
However, they explained that in some cases it may seem that someone is reinfected because the tests can pick up pieces of the virus are no longer able to reproduce. Although it would allow them to test positive, they would not be infectious. In addition, some people can pour the virus into their secretions, which would cause them to test positive over several weeks.
This is why the CDC builds its recommendations on symptoms and not tests. "Serological tests should not be used to establish the presence or absence of SARS-VV-2 infection or reinfection," they conclude.
