Officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are reportedly planning to update guidance regarding patients with the Chinese coronavirus.

Those who test positive no longer need to isolate themselves for five days, according to an article published Tuesday by the Washington Post.

“The agency is loosening its covid isolation recommendations for the first time since 2021 to align it with guidance on how to avoid transmitting flu and RSV, according to four agency officials and an expert familiar with the discussions,” the report stated.

CDC officials have recently said that most people have developed some immunity to the illness due to prior infection or vaccination, thus the reported change in guidance.
