Show Notes

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shortened the recommended time people should isolate when they’ve tested positive for Covid-19 from 10 days to five days if they don’t have symptoms. The CDC also shortened the recommended time for people to quarantine if they are exposed to the virus to a similar five days if they are vaccinated and often to no time if they are boosted. Doctors Leana Wen and Almaz Dessie talk about what this means and other possible concerns. 

Plus, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont talks about steps his administration is taking to try to stop the spread of the virus.
