TCU and UNTHSC School of Medicine’s Dr. Mohanakrishnan Sathyamoorthy, professor and chair, internal medicine,visited with Fox 4 and explained how behaviors can change for those who have received the full vaccination against COVID-19.
He told the news outlet that he sees three major takeaways from the recent guidance given by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
- Two fully vaccinated groups of people can safely gather together indoors
- One group of fully vaccinated people can safely gather indoors with a non-vaccinated group if they are considered low-risk
- A fully vaccinated individual who comes in contact with a COVID-19 positive individual does not have to follow the original quarantine guidelines if no symptoms are experienced.
Sathyamoorthy also said that everyone staying the course, continuing to socially distance and wearing a mask in public gatherings is key.
“This has been a marathon of an incredibly stressful event for all of us — in this country and throughout the world — but think of us as in this marathon toward the last couple of miles, and we’ve just got to push through to finish this thing together,” he said.
