(NEXSTAR) – Every day in quarantine can feel extra long, especially if you’re anxiously awaiting a COVID test result — or even worse, waiting for symptoms to subside. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently updated its guidelines on how long people need to quarantine or self isolate, shortening the time span and adding new masking requirements.

(NEXSTAR) – Amidst the holidays, many Americans have been rushing to get a COVID-19 test. The demand has been so great that lines stretching for blocks have been seen around the country and retailers have imposed shopping limits on available at-home tests.

The omicron variant, the fifth to be labeled a variant of concern by the World Health Organization, has proven to be more transmissible and causing more cases than we’ve seen before, according to Dr. Jim Conway, medical director with the immunization program at UW Health in Wisconsin.
