I cannot figure out what the new COVID protocols are. According to the CDC, it looks like you can go out in public 24 hours after you are fever free and asympomatic.  Is that right?  What are we supposed to do?

No, the cdc doesn’t say that. It’s says stay home for 5 days. [/quote]

You're really out-of-date with your information. CDC guidelines say its fine to
return after 24 hours fever-free and improving symptoms. There's no recommended 5-day isolation period anymore, and there hasn't been for quite some time.[/quote]

You’re wrong. [/quote]

Take a look at it yourself:
https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/prevention/precautions-when-sick.html

[i]You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:
- Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
- You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).[/i][/quote]

It also says you should wear a mask while doing those "normal activities."[/quote]

No, it says:
[i]When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors. This is especially important to protect people with factors that increase their risk of severe illness from respiratory viruses.[/i]

So masks are an example of something you could do, but aren't listed as something you should always do in that situation.

And certainly it doesn't say to stay home for 5 days.[/quote]

And is OP physically distancing and/or testing? Sounds like no?[/quote]
