@darakass @DrMarcSiegel Since the President and First Lady tested positive, the isolation period was reduced from 14 days from 10 days from when the test occurs, as long as the President and First Lady are without symptoms. (1/x)

@darakass @DrMarcSiegel Everyone in close contact with the President or First Lady from within 48 hours of their tests, including Vice President Biden, must quarantine for 14 days from last close contact. (2/X)

@darakass @DrMarcSiegel Also, anyone who may need to go into a room which the President or First Lady under standard covid precautions. @KanakaMPH @medpie1 @FutureDocs @HelenBurstin @Prof_Lowe @danaparish @Cleavon_MD @AtulGroverMD @lauradavisson @CarlosdelRio7 @KrutikaKuppalli @epireport (3/X)
