Thank you. Yes. Fully vaccinated people can be unmasked with SMALL GROUPS of other fully vaccinated people.I'll just point out they are saying "fully vaccinated people can meet indoors with other fully vaccinated people" without masks. But they still recommend masks. I would think that means if you can't be sure that everyone you're going to be in contact with is, indeed, fully vaccinated everyone should be wearing masks.
"Fully vaccinated" means at least 2 weeks after second dose (or single Johnson & Johnson).
I really worry for service industry folks who are going to have people showing up grousing about not needing to mask because they are vaccinated.
This is the full text of the recommendations with the link to the actual document.
Fully vaccinated people can:
Visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing
Visit with unvaccinated people from a single household who are at low risk for severe COVID-19 disease indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing
Refrain from quarantine and testing following a known exposure if asymptomatic
For now, fully vaccinated people should continue to:
Take precautions in public like wearing a well-fitted mask and physical distancing
Wear masks, practice physical distancing, and adhere to other prevention measures when visiting with unvaccinated people who are at increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease or who have an unvaccinated household member who is at increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease
Wear masks, maintain physical distance, and practice other prevention measures when visiting with unvaccinated people from multiple households
Avoid medium- and large-sized in-person gatherings
Get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms
Follow guidance issued by individual employers
Follow CDC and health department travel requirements and recommendations
