Physician-reviewed · current CDC guidance
Flu, stomach bug, strep, pink eye: pick what you have, answer one question, and get the current medical guidance.
The sick-day check
Respiratory illness: fever-free 24 hours, no meds, improving.
Flu, COVID, colds, RSV: one rule covers them all under current CDC guidance. Then five days of masks and distance while you finish shedding.
Stomach bugs: 48 hours after the last episode.
Not when you feel better. Norovirus spreads from people who feel fine, and one early return becomes an office outbreak.
Fever means 100.4°F or higher.
If you need medicine to stay under that line, you still count as feverish.
Not a replacement for medical care or medical advice.
