As soon as Thursday the CDC will announce new guidelines about what Americans who have been fully vaccinated can do. This will include being able to have small gatherings indoors with other vaccinated people.

At a White House COVID-19 Task Force press conference on Monday, Biden’s chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci said, “I use the example of a daughter coming in from out of town who is doubly vaccinated, and a husband and wife doubly vaccinated, and maybe a next door neighbor, who you know are doubly vaccinated.”

“Small gatherings in the home of people, I think you can clearly feel that the risk, the relative risk, is so low that you would not have to wear a mask, that you could have a good social gathering within the home.”

Fox News reports:

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the head of the CDC, did not say when the new guidelines would be released but said the CDC is “looking forward to releasing it soon.”

While a small gathering indoors with other vaccinated people isn’t the party most Americans are hoping for, it is the first time that the Biden administration has signaled it is willing to loosen restrictions. 

Despite that, Dr. Walensky warned Americans not to get complacent amid new variants and tens of thousands of new cases every day. 

“I want to really keep our eye on the fact that our cases are increasing right now. Slightly, but they are,” Dr. Walensky said Monday. “And so, the goal is not to sort of open up travel, open up things because we’re scaling up vaccination.”

According to the CDC, the United States has vaccinated 78.6 million people and distributed more than 100 million vaccines.
