But those who are not vaccinated are not the only people who are threatened by the frenetic delta spread. Some experts show that, even though vaccines are still very effective in preventing death and disease, they are not 100 percent overall. There are still small opportunities that people who are fully vaccinated can be infected, and – although such infections will be very likely to be asymptomatic or only cause mild diseases – people who are fully vaccinated can still help a very contagious variant.

This creates cracks among experts on prevention that must be taken by people who are fully vaccinated. They at the Center for Control and Prevention of US disease argue that the risk of deployment and the person who is fully vaccinated is very low. Thus, the agency continues to say that a person who is fully vaccinated can spill their masks and walk among many people. Other experts, including experts at the World Health Organization, are more careful.

“We are still living in a world that is only vaccinated in part, who has a lot of vulnerabilities, a lot of vulnerability,” Bruce Aylward, a senior advisor to the Director General of the World Health Organization, said in the press direction last week. “So, what we say is: After you are fully vaccinated, keep playing safely, because you can end up as part of the transmission chain.”

Aylward and some other WHO experts reaffirm their old positions that everyone – even fully vaccinated – must continue to do everything they can to reduce transmission, especially as a Delta spread variant.

“The Delta variant is a dangerous virus,” Who leads technically in Covid-19, Maria van Kerkhove, said in a briefing. “It is more transmitted from the alpha variant, which is very transmitted throughout Europe, throughout the country entered. The Delta variant is even more transmitting … We see almost vertical trajectories in a number of countries around the country in a number of world countries.” Van Kerkrove encourages people to continue using masks consistently, remain in the ventilated space, practicing good hand cleanliness and breathing etiquette, keep a distance physically, and avoid the crowd. “Please, do what you can keep yourself safe,” he said.

“Maximum protection “

Mariângela Simão, who assistant director general access to drugs and health products, is more emphasized at the point, saying: “This is very important: the vaccine will not stop community transmission, and we need to ensure that people follow the public. Health steps Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove spoke today. “

Emphasis back at distance and mask for people who are fully vaccinated refreshing supervision of the CDC attitude, which suddenly changed in mid-May. The body was announced with a little warning that people who were fully vaccinated mostly could stop dropping and spill their masks in almost all indoor and outdoor settings, crowded or without tender. Exceptions include health care settings and bulk transit.

Experts quickly criticize the time and method of announcement, saying that agency must provide more warnings to state and local health officials, and offer more nuanced recommendations for the use of masks in various settings, such as retail stores. And some experts at that time argue that the CDC should offer a threshold. That is, they should suggest cutoff when local vaccination rates are quite high and / or when the transmission rate is quite low so it is considered safe to reduce health measures.

As the New York Times recorded, Saskatchewan, Canada, has a threshold, with a gradual reopening relevant to the level of vaccination. “It makes more reasonable than just saying, ‘If you are fully vaccinated, please and remove your mask,'” Virama Expert Angela Rasmussen said outlets.

Although CDC does not make movement in its guidance, health officials in other countries and high US officials have begun to restore masking and other steps. For example, Israel, one of the most vaccinated countries in the world, restores the mask mask in the room this week. And on Monday, the Los Angeles County public health department urged people to cover up the indoor settings, regardless of vaccination status.

“Until we better understand how and to whom the Delta variant spreads, everyone must focus on maximum protection with minimum disorders of routine because all businesses operate without other restrictions, such as physical boundaries and capacity limits,” the department wrote in a statement.
