President Trump's coronavirus task force is reviewing evidence about how long people need to quarantine to be safe and slow the spread of Covid-19, according to Assistant Secretary for Health Adm. Brett Giroir

Giroir said at a news conference Tuesday held by the US Department of Health and Human Services that there is starting to be a"preponderance of evidence" that a shorter quarantine, complemented by a test, may be enough to slow the spread of Covid-19, and that a 14-day quarantine may no longer be necessary. He did not say specifically what shorter time period is being considered.

"Health experts have recommended a 14-day quarantine for infected people or individuals exposed to the virus since the early days of the pandemic and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has consistently used that standard during the crisis -- recommending early in the pandemic, for example, that people self-quarantine for two weeks after traveling to countries with widespread coronavirus transmission.
