Delta Asks CDC to Shorten Covid Isolation Period


From the story: Delta Air Lines’ CEO has asked the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to consider cutting its recommended isolation period for vaccinated people who get breakthrough COVID-19 infections from 10 days to five days. “Our employees represent an essential workforce to enable Americans who need to travel domestically and internationally,” CEO Ed Bastian wrote to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky. Delta’s chief health officer, Carlos del Rio, and medical adviser, Henry Ting, also signed the letter. “With the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, the 10-day isolation for those who are fully vaccinated may significantly impact our workforce and operations,” they added.
