“We’re in a stronger place today as a nation, with more tools — like vaccination, boosters, and treatments — to protect ourselves, and our communities, from severe illness from COVID-19,” said Greta Massetti, an author of the guidelines, on the agency’s website. “This guidance acknowledges that the pandemic is not over, but also helps us move to a point where COVID-19 no longer severely disrupts our daily lives.
The CDC still recommends people who test positive to isolate from others for at least five days, regardless of whether they were vaccinated. However, people can end isolation if they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication — and they are without symptoms, or the symptoms are improving.
Masks can contain droplets and particles when people breathe, cough or sneeze. If they fit closely to the face, they can also protect against particles spread by others. Federal regulators have also approved a children’s dose of the COVID-19 vaccine for kids 6 months to 4 years old. The age group can receive either the Moderna vaccine series, which requires two doses four to eight weeks apart, or the Pfizer series, which requires three doses about eight weeks apart.Testing
