Study supports shortened quarantine period among asymptomatic health care professionals exposed to SARS-CoV-2

New data published today in the American Journal of Infection Control (AJIC), suggest that healthcare professionals (HCPs) exposed to SARS-CoV-2 can safely return to work after seven days of quarantine if they are asymptomatic and receive a negative COVID-19 test. The findings, from the first reported study evaluating reduced quarantine duration in a healthcare setting, offer a potential new strategy for mitigating staffing shortages prior to a next wave of COVID-19 cases.
