The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on Monday what people vaccinated against Covid-19 can do.
According to the new CDC guidelines, Americans who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus can gather in groups without masks or physical distancing. The guidelines also clear vaccinated seniors to partake in small gatherings, and vaccinated people may refrain from quarantining if they are asymptomatic after an exposure to covid.
“Today’s action represents an important first step. It is not our final destination,” said CDC Director
Rochelle Walensky. “As more people get vaccinated, levels of Covid-19 infection decline in communities, and as our understanding of covid immunity improves, we look forward to updating these recommendations to the public.”
