Latest Coronavirus updates
Updated CDC definition of ‘close contact’
Oct. 22, 2020
On Oct. 21, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its guidance to define a close contact as someone who has been within 6 feet of a confirmed COVID-19 case for at least 15 minutes over a 24-hour period. Previously, the benchmark had been 15 consecutive minutes, not 15 minutes over a 24-hour period.
This does not change ASU’s policy, as the university had been following county guidance (10 minutes) and asking people about those they’d been around cumulatively.
