USA: end of quarantine after contact with a sick coronavirus

They loosen the measures for him even more coronavirus The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the US as they no longer recommend post-exposure quarantine or social distancing.

Post-exposure quarantine is no longer recommended for either vaccinated or unvaccinated individuals, as stated in the related announcement. The rationale for this decision is that nearly 95% of the US population has been vaccinated, contracted the coronavirus, or both.

“The new guidelines acknowledge that the pandemic is not over yet, but they also help us get to the point where COVID-19 won’t seriously disrupt our daily lives,” said CDC scientist Dr. Greta Massetti.

Everyone who comes into contact with the sick person will be required to wear a high-protection mask for 10 days and be tested five days after exposure to the coronavirus.

“Both the implementation of preventive measures and vaccination contribute to a certain degree of protection against serious diseases and it makes sense that there are no deviations from our guidelines and our recommendations based on the vaccination regimen at the present time,” commented the epidemiologist.

At the same time, the American CDC recommends lifting restrictions on contact with the sick and for students, thereby putting an end to the intensive testing program in such cases. On the other hand, he recommends that schools run coronavirus tests after high-risk activities, such as after sports or at certain times of the year.

Finally, the CDC announces the end of the famous social distancing, that is, social safety distance of about 2 meters.
