Here’s what CDC guidelines say the President and first lady should do after testing positive for Covid-19

CNN  

CNN — President Donald Trump announced early Friday he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for Covid-19. “Wear a mask when around other people, if you are able to.” Those infected should wear masks covering their nose and mouth when they’re around others, the CDC said. When can you leave isolation The CDC recommends people who tested positive for Covid-19 should stay isolated for at least 10 days since symptoms first appeared and after they’ve been at least 24 hours fever-less without the help of medications. For those who tested positive but showed no symptoms, the agency said they can be around others after 10 days since their last positive Covid-19 test. The CDC says close contacts can include: Anyone who was within six feet of an infected individual for at least 15 minutes Anyone who cared for someone who was infected or had direct physical contact, like hugging or kissing Anyone who shared eating or drinking utensils Anyone who may have gotten respiratory droplets from an infected individual through something like a sneeze or a cough What to do if you’re exposed People who had close contact with someone with Covid-19 should stay home for 14 days after they were last exposed to that person, the CDC says.
