Fully vaccinated people can refrain from quarantine and testing if they do not have symptoms of COVID-19 after contact with someone who has COVID-19.
WASHINGTON, March 8 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued on Monday its first set of recommendations on activities that people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can safely resume.
Fully vaccinated people can visit other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or staying 6 feet apart, according to the guidelines.
Fully vaccinated people can visit unvaccinated people from one other household indoors without wearing masks or staying 6 feet apart if everyone in the other household is at low risk for severe disease, said the CDC.
Meanwhile, fully vaccinated people can refrain from quarantine and testing if they do not have symptoms of COVID-19 after contact with someone who has COVID-19.
The CDC defines people who are fully vaccinated as those who are two weeks after receiving the last required dose of vaccine. ■
