The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a new rule that shortens the quarantine time for those who have the COVID virus. It’s now down to just five days.
Well … what does that mean?
It used to be for two weeks; then it went to 10 days; now it’s just five days.
I get that the Omicron variant isn’t as deadly as previous variants. It’s just far more contagious. It is why I am masking up — again! — when I enter indoor venues populated by people I do not know. It’s also why I am washing my hands frequently — again! — with soap and water. It’s also why I am more mindful of social distancing — yes, again!
I hope the new CDC rule bodes more promising for how Omicron is going to progress.
I also want an end to the constant stream of COVID-related news.
