• The CDC is backing its one-week old guidance for people to isolate from ten days to five if they recently tested positive for COVID
  • The Department of Health added that those who test positive could take a rapid antigen test if they want to and can access one, but is not requiring that
  • It said the average period of infectiousness and risk of transmission was ‘between 2-3 days before and 8 days after symptom onset’
  • The U.S. reported nearly one million new coronavirus infections on Monday, the highest daily tally of any country in the world
  • That’s nearly double the previous U.S. peak set a week ago as the spread of the highly contagious Omicron variant showed no signs of slowing.
