The new guidelines, which first disclosed earlier today, emphasize the importance of being vaccinated against the virus and the role it plays in return to normal.
The new guidelines were announced by Dr. Rochelle Walensky at a briefing at the White House Thursday. The CDC states that the growing mass of the scientific literature on the CVIV-19 pandemic supports removing mask and social distancing for people who have been fully vaccinated, which means receiving one or two (depending on the product). Vaccine doses and then waiting two weeks to strengthen immunity.
The new guidelines apply to small and large groups and indoor and outdoor spaces. Although the risks of disruption of CIVID-19 infections in people still vaccinated, these infections are rare, they are likely to have a lower viral load, they are less likely to be transmitted to other people and that the disease resulting is generally softer. and shorter in the long term.
There are still some restrictions in the direction, with the CDC noting that you should always wear a mask while traveling, like aircraft and that anyone with a weakened immune system should seek the advice of their doctor before giving up their mask. Similarly, masks can still be needed in some places, such as hospitals and health care clinics.
The CDC also highlights that these guidelines are only for those who are fully vaccinated, warning that if you have not received the Covid-19 vaccine, you risk contracting the virus, potentially developing a serious illness and spreading it to D ‘other people.
It is difficult to know how these released guidelines can affect the spread of illness as many unvaccinated people could also stop wearing masks. A number of online destinations have become breeding grounds for false vaccination cards, including models and instructions on how to do one, inviting a warning of the FBI that falsify and / or use a false card can be a crime.
As part of its updated mask tips, the CDC notes that changes in the pandemic can force it to update the guidelines in the future.
