The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week shortened the number of days a COVID-positive person must isolate, from 10 days to five days if symptom-free.

The new guidelines stopped short of requiring testing after the isolation period, a position that comes as the highly contagious omicron variant infects a record number of people in Ohio and across the U.S.

Today on Wellness Wednesday on All Sides with Ann Fisher, an infectious disease expert explains the new guidelines.

Guests:

Dr. Mahdee Sobhanie, infectious disease physician, Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center
Dr. Grant Brenner, psychiatrist, author, and blogger for Psychology Today
Dr. Wayne Grody, director of the Diagnostic Molecular Pathology Laboratory at UCLA Medical Center
