Trump surgeon general slams new CDC guidelines on isolation

Details: Adams also expressed concern in a Twitter post and in an interview Tuesday about the CDC's updated guidance on face masks, which advises that after the recommended isolation period, people should wear masks for at least five days to "minimize the risk of infecting others."

What he's saying: Adams told News 8 that "we haven’t had a great mask compliance thus far," and said "the science tells us" that not ending isolation until a negative antigen test result "is the best way to protect ourselves."

"Unfortunately, we know that there’s not enough tests out there to make that possible," he added.

The big picture: Businesses across the U.S. have been strained with employees in quarantine as Omicron infections surge — notably the air travel industry, which saw thousands of flights canceled over the holiday period due to COVID-19 outbreaks among crews.
