Vaccine recipients can abandon masks in the United States

Yesterday, the US health authorities announced that people who received all the anti-corona virus doses can meet each other in small groups and in closed spaces, without wearing masks and without adhering to social distancing recommendations, according to Agence France-Presse.

Rochelle Wallinsky, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, explained that those who received the vaccine could meet people who did not receive it from one other family, without masks and without social distancing, provided that they are not at risk of suffering from serious symptoms due to infection with "Covid" - 19 ».

Walinsky said that those who received all the vaccinations and had contact with people with "Covid-19" would not have to undergo an examination or quarantine themselves unless they showed symptoms of the disease, except for those who reside in gatherings such as medical care centers or correctional centers.

The issuance of the new recommendations comes at a time when several US states are moving to reopen schools and commercial establishments, in light of the decline in the number of injured.

People are completely immune to the Corona virus, two weeks after they received the second dose of one of the "Pfizer" or "Moderna" vaccines, or two weeks after they received a single-dose vaccine similar to "Johnson & Johnson".

It is expected that the new directives will be welcomed, especially among the elderly who are now enjoying complete freedom to visit their uninjured children and grandchildren, but several restrictions are still imposed.

About 59 million Americans have so far received at least one vaccine dose, or about 23 percent of the adult population, while the immune rate continues to rise steadily after a weak start of the vaccination campaign.
