The new CDC guidelines are pretty clear on this.
. Fully vaccinated people have a significant amount of protection from the variant, especially from hospitalization or death due to the variant. But rare breakthrough cases are possible, and the CDC now says that vaccinated people may be able to spread the variant should they become sick.
“Infections happen in only a small proportion of people who are fully vaccinated, even with the delta variant. When these infections occur among vaccinated people, they tend to be mild,” the CDC explains. “If you are fully vaccinated and become infected with the delta variant, you can spread the virus to others.”
With all of that context, it makes sense for vaccinated people to both wear a mask in some high-risk settings and to get tested should they come in contact with the virus. Knowing if you have the virus and, therefore, that you might be able to spread it to others is a crucial piece of information in this stage of the pandemic when many are still unvaccinated—including young
. It may be an inconvenience to get tested, but as the U.S. enters yet another COVID-19 wave, we all have a responsibility to take the necessary precautions in keeping ourselves and our communities safe.
