National Outlet Features Rajnarayanan’s COVID-19 Insight

Rajendram Rajnarayanan, Ph.D., assistant dean of research and associate professor at NYITCOM-Arkansas, was featured in a Salon article about the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s updated COVID-19 quarantine guidance. The public health agency recently stated that if an infected person is fever-free for 24 hours (without using fever-reducing medicine), and other symptoms have improved, isolating for five days is no longer necessary. Rajnarayanan, who noted that he isn’t pleased with the guidelines, said, “You’re probably going to see more long COVID, because if more COVID is spreading, the risk for long COVID increases.”
