CDC Director Says the US is Ramping Up COVID-19 Genome Sequencing to Track Variants
(CNN)As of now, even if you have been fully vaccinated for Covid-19, the advice from health officials is to keep wearing your mask, keep social distancing and keep away from get-togethers.
But Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday there might be new guidance coming soon.
Fauci, the White House pandemic adviser, was speaking at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science when 91-year-old Esther Cohen asked him when she and her friends — who all have received both vaccine shots — can safely resume their mah-jongg games.
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said there is no CDC guidance on what to do when groups of people who have received both vaccine doses want to get together. Current CDC advice is to keep wearing a face covering and staying 6 feet from others when possible.
