05.26.2022

The CDC has released guidance on the potential for recurrence of COVID-19 or “COVID-19 rebound” after Paxlovid treatment.

  • There is currently no evidence that additional treatment for COVID-19 is needed for COVID-19 rebound.
  • People who test positive for COVID-19 again after taking the drug Paxlovid should isolate for another 5 days.
  • Consider clinical evaluation of patients who have COVID-19 rebound and symptoms that persist or worsen.
  • Providers are asked to report cases of COVID-19 rebound to Pfizer and FDA.
