Key Points

The following recommendations apply to non-healthcare settings. For related information for healthcare settings, visitÌý.

Fully vaccinated people can:

• Participate in many of the activities that they did before the pandemic; for some of these activities, they may choose to wear a mask.
• Resume domestic travel and refrain from testing before or after travel and from self-quarantine after travel.
• Refrain from testing before leaving the United States for international travel (unless required by the destination) and refrain from self-quarantine after arriving back in the United States.
• Refrain from routine screening testing if feasible.

Infections happen in only a small proportion of people who are fully vaccinated, even with the Delta variant. However, preliminary evidence suggests that fully vaccinated people who do become infected with the Delta variant can spread the virus to others. To reduce their risk of becoming infected with the Delta variant and potentially spreading it to others: CDC recommends that fully vaccinated people:

• Wear a mask in public indoor settings if they are in an area ofÌý.
  • Fully vaccinated people might choose to mask regardless of the level of transmission, particularly if they or someone in their household is immunocompromised or atÌý, or if someone in their household is unvaccinated. People who are at increased risk for severe disease include older adults and those who have certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, overweight or obesity, and heart conditions.
• Get tested if experiencingÌý.
• If you came intoÌýÌýwith someone with COVID-19 get tested 3-5 days after the date of your exposure and wear a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days after exposure or until a negative test result.
• Isolate if they have tested positive for COVID-19 in the prior 10 days or are experiencingÌý.
• Follow any applicable federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations.

People who are immunocompromised should be counseled about the potential for reduced immune responses to COVID-19 vaccines and to follow Ìýprevention measures (including wearingÌý,ÌýÌýthey don’t live with, and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces)Ìýregardless of their vaccination status to protect themselves against COVID-19Ìýuntil advised otherwise by their healthcare provider.
