The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is considering new guidelines for those exposed to the coronavirus who do not show symptoms.
The newly proposed guidelines would allow asymptomatic people who were exposed to the virus to resume work under the conditions that they would wear a mask and have their temperature checked regularly.
"I can tell you the CDC will have new guidance tomorrow that the CDC will be publishing for people who were in proximity to an individual that tested positive for coronavirus but have no symptoms," Vice President Pence said during Tuesday's coronavirus task force briefing.
"Some of the best minds here at the White House are beginning to think about what recommendations will look like that we give to businesses, that we give to states, but it will all, I promise you, be informed on putting the health and well-being of the American people first," Pence said.
The newly proposed guidance would aim to reduce some of the more restrictive CDC guidelines, which require essential workers to isolate for 14 days if exposed to the virus, regardless of whether or not they show symptoms.

and have their temperature checked regularly...
Just tape a thermometer inside their mouths
#OUAN Open up America Now!!
Try working in a hospital...
Yes, you are exposed, and yes you keep working
Absolutely
the boss in my office is a pretty cute blonde- would i get in trouble if i request she take my temperature with an anal thermometer?
Where do you work and does your Branch have any openings? :-)!
Where are they gonna get the masks?
It makes little sense to adopt this without a supply of masks. My wife is planning on making masks. Her friends are doing it. Where did the make your own mask movement come from? It’s kind of like confederate ladies cutting bandages.
But but I thought asymptomatic folks were typhoid Marys.
The CDC and FDA and NIH are frauds. They want money and power.
Programs, Programs, get yer Programs here!
Can’t keep track of the CDC’s constantly changing guidelines
without a Program....
...She shrugged and told me she’s exposed to far worse stuff than this all the time.
She speaks the truth, ER and ICU nurses are a very hardy breed
How about testing them to see if they are infected but asymptomatic?
Just tape a thermometer inside their mouths
And wear yellow Stars of David on their chests, too?
She’s worked the ER too. Very proud of her.
Lord makes men strong, and women tough
They look soft and fluffy, but underneath,
they are tough as granite, and hard to kill
may God bless them..
Just don’t Wuhan me. I don’t want to be burned alive.
Also, the numberes re: lack of masks don't add up.
Since only a small percentage of hospitals have been hit hard with this and all elective procedures have been cancelled most hospitals should be using FEWER masks.
I work in an industrial plant designated as essential.
We got a shipment of N95 masks, nitrile gloves, 1/2 mask respirators and n100 filters, face shields and tyvek suits within the last couple weeks.
I believe this "shortage" is way overblown.
