Coronavirus Update: Biden isolation protocol at White House stricter than CDC's
President Joe Biden will remain in isolation through at least Thursday under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines — and perhaps longer under tougher White House protocols if he continues to test positive.
The CDC guidelines are based on a timeline of five days of isolation and do not insist on a negative test that would prove that a patient is no longer shedding virus and unlikely to infect another person. That approach has been criticized by experts who say research shows people often remain infectious for longer than five days, meaning it’s vital that, when ending isolation, they continue to wear a well-fitting mask around others at home or in indoor spaces through Day 10.
