New York Governor Cuomo announced that the number of days of isolation for those who do not have any symptoms during the isolation period has been reduced from 14 days to 10 days and no testing is required, according to updated CDC guidelines.
New York State announced on December 29 that the number of days of quarantine for those exposed to the Chinese communist virus (COVID-19) who are asymptomatic during quarantine has been reduced from 14 to 10 days, according to the December 2 update of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for quarantine.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) announced the updated quarantine guidelines on Tuesday (Dec. 29), which are consistent with the latest CDC guidelines. Under the new guidelines, individuals who do not report any symptoms during their quarantine may be terminated after 10 days without being tested.
After reaching day 10 and up to day 14, the individual should continue to monitor symptoms and if any symptoms develop, they should immediately self-quarantine and contact their local health department or their healthcare provider to report this change and determine if virus testing should be sought. In the meantime, all recommended safety behaviors should continue to be strictly followed to stop transmission, including wearing masks, maintaining social distance and avoiding parties.
The New York State Department of Health notes that this change in the number of days of isolation applies to the general community, medical personnel and travelers.
In addition, according to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration TSA, 1,284,599 people traveled through security lanes at airports across the U.S. on Sunday (Dec. 27), the highest number since the outbreak of the plague in March of this year.
As the number of travelers increases, the outbreak consultant on Joe Biden’s team said January could still be the worst month despite the availability of the vaccine.
