The CDC has now extended isolation for employees suspected to have COVID-19.

Employees who experience symptoms associated with COVID-19, but have not been tested may return to work when they have met the following criteria:

Fever free for at least 72 hours (without the use of medication that reduces fever)
Respiratory symptoms have improved
At least 10 days have passed since their symptoms first appeared

Keep in mind, all three elements of the criteria must be met.
