CDC issues new guidelines for essential workers who have been exposed to coronavirusCenters for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Robert Redfield issued new guidelines for essential workers who have been exposed to the coronavirus, saying individuals would need to be asymptomatic to return to work.
The guidelines, he said, are aimed at keeping essential workers, including first responders, health care workers, employees in the food supply chain and others at work -- even if they might have been exposed to someone who has coronavirus.
Redfield said those individuals could return to their jobs if they take their temperature before work, wear a face mask at all times and practice social distancing at work.
He reiterated that people should stay home if they feel sick, should not share items used on or near their face and should refrain from congregating in break rooms and other crowded places.

Redfield said those individuals could return to their jobs if they take their temperature before work, wear a face mask at all times and practice social distancing at work and never under any circumstances can they touch anything.

you can be sure as fuck that the CDC is irredeemably politicized/compromised at the top, and will be until Trump is gone.

if they were infected by the virus? Now the CDC is altering their rules to accommodate his insanity.
