NEW YORK (AP) - Fully immunized Americans can meet at home with other people who have been vaccinated without wearing a mask or keeping social distance, according to long-standing guidelines from federal health officials.

The recommendations also suggest that people who have been vaccinated should come together in the same way - at home - with people who are less at risk for serious illnesses, such as visiting healthy children and grandchildren who have been vaccinated.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the guidelines on Monday.

The guideline is designed to address the growing need for more adults to be vaccinated and to consider whether it gives family members more freedom to visit, travel, or do other things. .

"As more people are being vaccinated each day, we are starting to turn a corner," said CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Valensky said. Fully vaccinated people can gather

Studies show that MRNA vaccines (Modena, Pfizer / Biotech) and the newly approved Johnson & Johnson vaccine are highly effective in reducing the risk of serious illness, hospitalization, and death. (Click here for more information on these vaccines.)

But we do not know whether these vaccines prevent asymptomatic infections - that is, infected with the virus without symptoms such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath. So you are more likely to have the virus without symptoms and to spread the virus to others.

In general, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that the more people interact and spend more time with others, the higher the risk of catching or spreading the virus.

With those words in mind, I think it is reasonable to consider seeing and embracing your family and grandchildren when taking protective measures to stay healthy:

• Hand wash hands often.
• Close Wear masks that fit well when in close contact, in the same room with others, and when hugging.
• Limit time spent with family members who have not yet been vaccinated.
• Can visit do door if you can.

Whenever possible, everyone who joins can reduce their risk by avoiding contact with people outside their home for 14 days per visit and / or one to three days of virus testing per visit.

What precautions should I take outside my home, and why?

COVID-19 rates are very high in the community and variants will continue to spread. If you are infected with the virus, even if you have the vaccine, it is not 100% protected against the disease.

Until a high proportion of the population is vaccinated, I recommend following familiar precautions outside the home: wash your hands frequently, wear a mask, and keep physical distance. We need the immunity of the cattle in the community before we can rest on any of these protective measures. Even if you have been vaccinated, you do not want to contribute to the community outbreak of COVID-19, which can make others very sick or even die. Fully vaccinated people can gather

Points to remember:

1. Once you have been vaccinated, you are less likely to get a serious case of COVID-19.

2. Even if you have been vaccinated, you can still infect someone who has not been diagnosed.

3. If you and your loved one are vaccinated, the risk of infecting each other is close to zero.
