The CDC said that the majority of the transmission of the coronaviruses occurs in the one to two days before the start of symptoms and the two to three days after.
Quarantine times for those who have been exposed to COVID-19 have changed. The recommended time is five days, followed by strict mask use for an additional five days. The CDC says that if someone has been exposed, they should wear a mask for 10 days after exposure.
The Omicron variant has the potential to impact all aspects of our society, according to the CDC director. The CDC has updated its recommendations for isolation and quark to account for what we know about the spread of the virus and the protection provided by vaccination and booster doses. People can continue their lives with these updates. Prevention is our best option: get vaccinations, get boosted, wear a mask in public indoor settings, and take a test before you gather.
Booster shots restore immunity to 75 percent according to research from the United Kingdom and South Africa. Only 35 percent of those who have been more than six months from their original two-dose vaccine regimen are protected.
The CDC encourages everyone to get the vaccine, even if they have had two shots, as it reduces the chance of hospitalization and death.
