The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) added two alternative quarantine periods on Wednesday for a potential exposure to COVID-19, setting seven days of isolation after a positive test and 10 for people who do not they took the exam.
Currently, health authorities recommend a 14-day quarantine after the last contact with a person infected with COVID-19, in order to stop the transmission of the virus.
The CDC still recommends a 14-day isolation, but they told reporters that the shorter periods they suggest are alternatives.
