The CDC relaxed its COVID-19 guidelines, dropping the quarantine recommendation for Americans who come into close contact with an infected person.
The nation's top public health agency on Thursday relaxed its COVID-19 guidelines, dropping the recommendation that Americans quarantine themselves if they come into close contact with an infected person.
"The current conditions of this pandemic are very different from those of the last two years," said the CDC's Greta Massetti, an author of the guidelines. The CDC also dropped a "test-to-stay" recommendation, which said students exposed to COVID-19 could regularly test - instead of quarantining at home - to keep attending school. With no quarantine recommendation anymore, the testing option disappeared too.
Masks will be optional in most school districts when classes resume this fall, and some of the nation's largest districts have dialed back or eliminated COVID-19 testing requirements.Some have also been moving away from test-to-stay programs that became unmanageable during surges of the omicron variant last school year.
