CDC Says Fully Vaccinated People Don't Need to Quarantine if Exposed to COVID-19.<br />The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its guidance on Feb. 10.<br />Normally, when a healthy person is exposed to <br />coronavirus, it is best to isolate from others for <br />one to two weeks to monitor the development of any symptoms.<br />This helps to stop the spread of COVID-19.<br />The CDC now says that if an individual is <br />exposed to COVID-19 within three months <br />of receiving their last vaccine dose and isn't <br />exhibiting symptoms, isolating is not necessary.<br />It is still recommended to continue wearing masks, social distancing and avoiding crowds.<br />The guidance acknowledges that the risk of fully vaccinated people spreading the virus is "still uncertain" but asserts the vaccine's importance in stopping symptomatic transmission.<br />Vaccination has been demonstrated to prevent symptomatic Covid-19; symptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission is thought to have a greater role in transmission than purely asymptomatic transmission, CDC, via statement
