...Do people no longer have to wait 10 days to return to work? Because Friday, April 8 would be less than a week after he tested positive today.

TaffyDavenport said: "I thought it was 5 days quarantined, plus 5 days masked after that, which is why actors do the full 10 days."

Thanks for clarifying.

Hoping everyone's symptoms aren't too bad, which will be the ultimate deciding factor of when certain people will be able to go back to work.

It depends on when Daniel Craig started having symptoms. According to the CDC, the first day of symptoms is Day Zero, meaning he could be out of isolation sooner if he started having a scratchy throat or something a few days ago.

The show is nothing without Daniel Craig. The majority of ticketbuyers will ask for refunds if he is out.

Same goes for Billy Crystal, Hugh Jackman, and other megastars this season.

If they follow protocol he can't be back by then. So either they aren't going to follow protocol, or they're going to perform without him (or cancel more performances later). They're backed into a corner if they want to be Tony eligible this season, they can't push opening night. So maybe they'll care more about getting a few more previews in to hone things even if it means playing to a low capacity crowd.

Unless, as someone else mentioned, his symptoms started days ago and he's been performing despite having Covid symptoms. That's not a great look, either.

And it might all be moot if more people in the cast test positive and it has to extend its shut down.
