The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expected to ease its guidelines to control the spread of Covid-19, including in schools as soon as this week, CNN reported on Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the plan.

The updated guidelines are expected to ease quarantine requirements for people exposed to the virus and would no longer recommend maintaining a six-feet distance at schools, according to the report. The agency would also remove a recommendation called ‘test to stay’ the report said. Test to stay involves frequent testing after close contact with a Covid-19 patient and allows for some students and teachers who do not test positive for Covid to continue in-person learning.
