People who have received all vaccines for the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in the United States are at risk, but can travel, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on day 2 (local time). ).
The CDC updated its travel guidelines on the same day, revealing that those who have completed the Corona 19 vaccination can travel with lower risk, reported CNN Broadcast and the Daily Washington Post (WP).
The CDC said that those who have completed the vaccination can travel within the United States as long as they comply with quarantine measures, including wearing a mask. There is no need to get tested for COVID-19 before the trip or to quarantine after the trip, the CDC said.
In the case of foreign travel, he added that it is not necessary to take the corona 19 test before departure or quarantine after return, unless the country of destination of the trip requires the results of the corona 19 test.
However, upon returning to the U.S. after traveling abroad, the CDC must perform a corona 19 test before boarding an international flight and receive a negative result, and they must undergo another test within 3-5 days. after you return home.
The person who completed the vaccine, the CDC says, is the person two weeks after receiving the last dose of the Corona 19 vaccine. The CDC still recommends that people who have not been vaccinated avoid travel.
The revised CDC travel guide stems from the recent release of new research results showing that vaccines have a strong effect on preventing or spreading infections even in real life, not in clinical trials, WP said.
WP noted that “the long-awaited CDC (travel) guide is good news amid growing numbers of vaccinated adults wanting more freedom to visit family and relatives and go on vacation for the first time in a year. “.
However, CDC Director Rochelle Wallensky still urged him to refrain from traveling despite the revised guidelines.
“I will support not going through general travel,” Wallensky said at a briefing at the White House that day.
“Our guidelines do not mention whether or not we recommend travel for people who have been vaccinated,” he said. “Our guidelines are about the safety of doing so.”
It can be interpreted as emphasizing that low risk travel is possible and that travel is not recommended.
“Science shows that we can act safer when we are vaccinated, and it is important that we provide that guidance in the context of an increasing number of new infections.” “We have to strike a balance between the fact that this has not yet happened been vaccinated.”
