"2024 CDC COVID-19 Guidelines: Changes to Isolation and Testing Policies"

The CDC advises individuals who test positive for COVID-19 to isolate for at least five days, while those who have not tested positive are also recommended to isolate. Arizona's Department of Health Services and Maricopa County of Public Health have released their own guidelines for isolation based on symptoms and testing. The CDC is considering dropping the five-day isolation period, aligning COVID-19 guidelines with those for influenza and other respiratory viruses, but no changes have been made yet.
