Former United States Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams (pictured) said he believes that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was wrong to shorten the mandated quarantine for COVID-positive individuals.
"I love the CDC. Grew up wanting to work there and have been one of their most ardent defenders. I never dreamed the day would come when I would advise people NOT to follow their guidance," Adams wrote in a tweet. "But ask any of them. They wouldn't even follow it for their own family."
His remarks come after the agency decided to reduce its recommended isolation time from 10 to five days for people who are asymptomatic.
