New CDC Definition Of COVID-19 'Close Contact'

The US CDC has released new COVID-19 guidelines.

They have redefined what is considered “close contact” in regards to being around people with COVID-19.

The previous definition stated anyone within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes or more is in close contact.

The update defines close contact as being within 6 feet of someone for a cumulative total of 15 minutes (or more) over 24 hours.
