Dr. Anthony Fauci said recently that those who have been fully vaccinated do not need to take the COVID-19 test unless they have symptoms.
What is happening?
Fauci told CBS This Morning on Friday morning that fully vaccinated people will not need a COVID-19 test if they have no symptoms.
- They will need a test as soon as they have symptoms, he said.
- Fauci was asked whether vaccinated people need to take the COVID-19 tests. He said: “Not necessarily. In fact, I wouldn’t say this is something you should be doing. “
- “If you were fully vaccinated with two doses of mRNA or one dose of J&J, I would not be considering it, unless you develop symptoms that are suggestive, but not if you are symptom free,” he said, according to CNN.
Flashback
In February, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that people who have been fully vaccinated also do not need to be quarantined after being exposed to the virus, which I wrote for Deseret News.
Those who have been exposed to the coronavirus, but have not received the COVID-19 vaccine, must still be quarantined, as I wrote for Deseret News.
- “Vaccination has been shown to prevent symptomatic COVID-19; Symptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission is believed to have a greater role in transmission than purely asymptomatic transmission, ”according to the CDC.
