The National Football League said 96 of its players tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday.
From CNN’s Maggie FoxThe US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has shortened the recommended times that people should isolate when they’ve tested positive for Covid-19 from 10 days to five days if they don’t have symptoms – and if they wear a mask around others for at least five more days.
“Given what we currently know about COVID-19 and the Omicron variant, CDC is shortening the recommended time for isolation from 10 days for people with COVID-19 to 5 days, if asymptomatic, followed by 5 days of wearing a mask when around others,” the CDC said in a statement on Monday. Quarantine refers to the time people stay away from others if they are exposed to a disease but not yet testing positive or showing symptoms.
