RUSH EXCERPT:

WEN: “Yeah, I think the guidance right now is a bit confusing. But basically, we need to break it down to isolation versus quarantine. Isolation is what happens when you test positive. Quarantine is what you do when you have not tested positive but you have been exposed to somebody who has Covid-19. So, there are differences between the two. What the CDC is now saying is that if you test positive but you are without symptoms, your isolation does not need to be a full-ten days. It could be five days.”
