State lifts quarantine rules for some vaccinated New Yorkers
New York will follow updated guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and will not require certain people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 to quarantine after being exposed to someone with the virus, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Thursday.
CDC recommendations released Wednesday apply to people who have received either the second shot of a two-dose vaccine or the first and only shot of a one-dose vaccine.
Once two weeks from full vaccination have passed, those people will not be required to quarantine after COVID-19 exposure if they experience no symptoms of the disease, Cuomo said. That exemption lasts 90 days after vaccination.
