People who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can safely gather indoors without masks or social distancing, according to new guidelines released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday. During a White House coronavirus briefing, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky explained some of the new guidelines that may signal the first step back to normalcy since the pandemic took hold in the US. “A growing body of evidence suggests that fully vaccinated people are less likely to have asymptomatic infection and potentially less likely to transmit SARS-CoV-2 to others,” the CDC said to explain the relaxation of some recommendations.
