On March 1st, the CDC issued updated recommendations to allow for a more uniformed approach for viral illnesses such as COVID-19, flu and RSV.  Updated recommendations advise that those who are ill stay home and away from others.  Recommendations suggest returning to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, symptoms are improving overall, and if a fever was present, it has been gone without use of a fever-reducing medication.  The CDC states that they are updating recommendations now as the US is seeing fewer hospitalizations and deaths associated with COVID-19.
