- The CDC updated its shortened isolation guidance for people with COVID-19, saying that they can use a rapid antigen test toward the end of their five-day isolation period if tests are available. If the test is positive, the CDC recommends isolating for a total of 10 days. However, the agency did not say people need a negative test to resume activities.
