The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have relaxed some guidelines around COVID-19.
The CDC no longer recommends social distancing and dropped guidance on quarantine for people exposed to COVID-19. Instead, those exposed should wear a mask for 10 days and test after 5.
Gandhi said the Bay Area should feel comfortable scaling back some guidelines, especially with the high vaccination rate. The CDC also no longer recommends keeping a distance of at least 6 feet from others. Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease expert at UCSF said these changes send a message that the country is in a much different place."It’s not saying we ignore the virus, which is the last thing we want to do. It’s just saying there’s circumstances where we have to be more serious and there’s circumstances where we have to take more individual responsibility," said Chin-Hong.
