Key takeaways

The CDC no longer requires quarantine for certain fully-vaccinated individuals who have been exposed to COVID-19 and meet certain criteria. Individuals who may fall into this category should carefully consider local guidance before deciding not to quarantine.
The CDC advises individuals who are in close proximity with others outside their immediate household to wear a mask with multiple layers or two masks at a time in order to better protect against COVID-19 transmission.
Guidance on COVID-19 transmission, vaccination and recommendations for the workplace is changing quickly. Employers should stay up-to-date on current guidance from the CDC and local entities that govern COVID-19 protocols.
