(WIAT) — The CDC is considering changing its quarantine guidelines for people that have come into contact with COVID-19.

Current guidelines mandate a 14-day quarantine for those exposed, even if you test negative.

The guideline change would reduce the 14-day quarantine to 7-10 days for those exposed to COVID-19.

She said, if the CDC does change quarantine guidelines for COVID exposure, more people may follow it.

Until new guidelines are formally announced, for people that have had close contact with COVID-19, the CDC mandates a 14-day quarantine, and you can’t test out of staying at home.
