The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force on Tuesday that its new guidance would cut quarantine time for individuals exposed to the virus by as much as half, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The new recommended quarantine would be seven days for those who test negative after exposure to Covid-19, and 10 days for those who do not take a test, said the people, who were granted anonymity to discuss information that has not been made public.
