Direct Coronavirus Spain today, breaking news
The European Center for Prevention and Control of Diseases (ECDC in its acronym in English) has issued a new report in which it endorses the
relaxation of certain protection measures such
as the use of
masks or social distance
during interaction with people who are fully vaccinated.
In the document, the ECDC indicates that clinical trials carried out have shown that
vaccines
against Covid-19 authorized by the European Union are
highly effective
not only in fighting the disease but also in slowing down the transmission of the virus.
According to the data provided by the European center, the risk of developing a serious disease for a fully vaccinated person is very low in adults without risk factors and low in older people or with previous pathologies.
In the same way, the risk that an unvaccinated person who came into contact with a vaccinated person exposed to the virus would develop a serious illness is also very low to low in young and middle-aged adults without risk factors and moderate in elderly or people with pathologies.
Therefore, given the
efficacy of the vaccine
, the ECDC supports that some of the protection measures can be lifted in certain cases.
In the event that fully vaccinated people are found, the European center indicates that both the use of the
mask and the physical safety distancing
can be relaxed
.
In the same circumstance, the meetings of unvaccinated individuals (or belonging to the same bubble group) with vaccinated individuals would be found, as long as there were no risk factors in any of those present, since they could also dispense with prevention measures.
The document also maintains that screening tests and quarantines for fully vaccinated travelers could be avoided.
However, in light of the
epidemiological situation
in which the
European Union
finds itself
, the report recommends that protection measures be maintained in public spaces and in large gatherings, even during travel, regardless of the vaccination status.
The document refers to the situation of countries with a high rate of people vaccinated with the United Kingdom or Israel, where protection measures have begun to be relaxed due to the reduction in the transmission of the virus.
