The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued guidance for fully vaccinated people. The guidance states fully vaccinated people can gather indoors with other fully vaccinated people in small groups without wearing masks or social distancing. Fully vaccinated people can also visit with unvaccinated people from a single household who are at low risk for severe COVID-19 disease, indoors, without wearing masks or social distancing. Fully vaccinated grandparents can visit with their unvaccinated grandchildren as long as their grandchildren don’t have serious health conditions.
Fully vaccinated people should continue to wear a mask and social distance in public. Fully vaccinated people should also avoid medium- and large-sized in-person gatherings.
