Description

Press release from the Borough of Middlesex: 2022-01-03 New CDC Guidelines  Everyone 5 years and older should get fully vaccinated.  Everyone 18 years and older should get the booster shot at least 2 months after their initial J&J vaccine or 6 months after the twin vaccine series ( Pfizer or Moderna ).  Masks should be worn in all indoor public settings in substantial or high community settings.  Recommendations for isolation/ quarantine with those who tested positive with Covid are now reduced from 10 to 5 days. The science reveals that viral infection of transmission occurrence starts early in the course of the illness (generally 1-2 days prior to symptoms and 2-3 days after the symptoms ).   Unvaccinated individuals or those without receiving a second dose after 6 months or 2 months after the J&J vaccine or not yet boosted, the CDC recommends quarantine for 5 days. Those  with the booster need not quarantine following exposure. The CDC recommends however that a Covid test should be performed thereafter. With the occurrence of symptoms, immediately quarantine followed by a Covid test. Retesting should be done until a negative result is achieved.  Blame Human Nature and Social importance This press release was produced by the Borough of Middlesex.
