Industry-Specific Resources  Updated CDC Guidance on the Discontinuation of Isolation for Persons With COVID-19  CDC recently updated their interim guidance for the Discontinuation of Isolation for Persons With COVID-19 Not in Healthcare Settings. This updated guidance recommends using symptom-based criteria instead of a test-based strategy, except in certain circumstances, to determine when to end home isolation of persons with COVID-19. Medicolegal Death Investigators Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) CDC has published FAQs for Medicolegal Death Investigators for those who work in medical examiner and coroner offices. These FAQs address a variety of COVID-19-related questions, including what initial information should investigators gather to assess the potential risk for COVID-19, what considerations can guide investigators when planning to conduct on-scene investigations, what personal protective equipment (PPE) should investigators wear when COVID-19 is known or suspected, what actions should investigators take after conducting an on-scene investigation, and what should investigators know about the transportation of the decedent in cases of known or suspected COVID-19.
