There's no question more people in Illinois keep testing positive, but one point of confusion is what if you test positive, then test negative?
"If you get a positive test, if it's a home test, if it's any kind of test, treat that test as positive. Don't go out and try to get four more tests. Positive is positive," said Dr. Allison Arwady, Chicago Public Health Commissioner.We asked Dr. Arwady whether cutting the isolation time from 10 days to five days is a good idea. She says yes, if you're no longer showing symptoms and wear a mask.
The Illinois Department of Public Health just adopted the CDC's shortened quarantine and isolation times.But the state's top doctor says the key is getting more people in Illinois vaccinated, even if Omicron isn't quite as dangerous as Delta. The state just rolled out a new way to prove your vaccinated with the smart health card verifier app.
