VERIFY PROCESS
The 14-day quarantine post-exposure which initially was health experts rule of thumb now might not be necessary. The CDC revised its guidelines in December, stating quarantine can end after day 10, without testing, if you are not showing any COVID-19 symptoms.. Or, it can end after day seven with a negative test conducted on day five.
But, infectious disease physician Chris Ohl, MD, urged caution with the shorter quarantine. The seven-day quarantine does have a little bit of risk that you can still pop positive after the end of your quarantine period. Ten days is much better; it gets upwards of 95% of people (who are going to exhibit symptoms), and (with) 14 days over 99%, Ohl explained.

Dining pods
can be a COVID-safe dining option in winter, but they must meet three criteria cleanliness, ventilation and party precautions. You really need to be dining in a bubble with people in your
own bubble, emphasized Wake Forest Baptist Health infectious diseases physician Chris Ohl, MD.
He explained the bubble means people from your own household or people with whom you ve entered an agreement of shared exposure risk. The restaurant or the dining establishment needs to really make sure these things are cleaned out well all the horizontal and vertical surfaces inside the pod between different customers and to make sure they are ventilated, so the air inside of them is changed out, he said.
