The revised guidance looks to minimize COVID-19's disruption of daily life while conceding that the pandemic isn't over.
"This guidance acknowledges that the pandemic is not over, but also helps us move to a point where COVID-19 no longer severely disrupts our daily lives. We know that COVID 19 is here to stay." — Greta Massetti, PhD, MPH, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
