...most significant change in the CDC's guidelines, compared with those issued last spring, is to allow children back to school 24 hours after their fever subsides (without the benefit of fever-reducing medication). Previous guidelines, issued during the height of the outbreak, suggested that kids stay home for seven days after the onset of the first flu symptoms. "This recommendation is based on new information from studies both in the lab and person-to-person on how the virus spreads," said the CDC's Frieden.
