President Biden said Friday that the recommended quarantine period for most Americans who test positive for COVID-19 will remain 10 days — despite the at-home period being cut to just seven days for healthcare workers one day before.
“I just listen to my team and the docs, and they think we should keep it the way it is for now,” Biden said in response to a reporter’s question after he joined a NORAD Santa-tracking call on Christmas Eve.
The CDC said Thursday that asymptomatic healthcare workers who test negative for COVID-19 could be back on the job as soon as seven days after testing positive for the virus.
