According to the High Council of Public Health (HCSP), people fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can abandon the mask in a closed and private indoor environment.

They only have to keep it in the community.

In a "private family or friendly setting" in a closed environment, people can remove their mask "if they have all benefited from a complete vaccination schedule".

Respect for other barrier gestures (hand washing, distancing, ventilation and limiting the number of people to six) remains necessary.

There is therefore still no question of participating in large groups.

Barrier gestures still essential

This recommendation does not apply if one of the people concerned is not fully vaccinated or is a person at risk for coronavirus.

In collective settings and public places, the HCSP recommends continuing to respect barrier gestures, including wearing a mask and limiting movement.

“Caution” remains relevant, underlines the HCSP in an opinion published this Sunday on the adaptation of barrier gestures.

Indeed, the situation at the national level remains "unfavorable", the country is under the blow of a "hospital saturation" and it remains impossible "to assess the risk for the people having benefited from a complete vaccination schedule of contaminating d. 'other people ".

A gradual resumption of social life thanks to vaccination

For the HCSP, “educational communication campaigns” would be necessary to explain the importance of barrier gestures to vaccinated people.

He also advises to “promote clinical and microbiological follow-up studies” of vaccinated people to assess the risk of infection by exposure to infected people and the risk of transmission.

The intensification of the vaccination campaign should "allow the gradual resumption of social and economic life in the second part of the year 2021", concludes the High Council.

This opinion, validated on April 11, had been requested by the Directorate General of Health.
