UPDATE (March 10, 2020 4:00 P.M. EST):
The CDC released new guidelines for how vaccinated individuals can behave on March 8, and it s positive news. People fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can now gather inside without masks in small groups of others who are fully vaccinated, or with unvaccinated people from one single household, without posing a major health risk but there are a few caveats.
According to the CDC guidelines, it s only OK to gather if you ve received the full course of your COVID-19 vaccines and waited the correct time for it to take effect. Melissa Hawkins, an epidemiologist and public health professor at American University, says fully vaccinated varies based on which vaccine people received; for example, you need two doses of a two-dose vaccine (Moderna and Pfizer) or one dose of a single-dose vaccine (Johnson & Johnson), and you need to wait at least two weeks after the final dose of all vaccines before changing your mask-wearing and gathering behavior in
As the anniversary of the initial pandemic-induced nation-wide lockdowns looms, cities and states throughout the country including ones that have maintained some level of restriction for months are reversing course on a number of measures, including restaurant dining bans put in place around the holiday season to combat nationally skyrocketing COVID-19 cases. Restaurants depleted by a nearly year-long crisis are swinging open their doors and welcoming diners back to dining rooms and roadside tables in bids for survival. But the growing government laxity around restaurant dining is not a sign that either practice is necessarily safe, nor that decreasing positivity rates will continue without ongoing vigilance. On the contrary, new variants of the coronavirus, along with more than 100,000 new infections still being recorded nationally each day, may make this moment more dangerous than the early stages of the coronavirus outbreak, for workers and diners alike.
