Some people who have been fully vaccinated do not need to quarantine if they are exposed to the coronavirus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.

The advice, published in the C.D.C.’s revised Covid-19 guidelines, applies only to those who were vaccinated more than two weeks and less than three months ago, and who have shown no symptoms of Covid infection.

The new guidance covers those who have received both shots of a two-dose vaccine or one shot of a single-dose vaccine, should one be approved, the agency said. It effectively puts vaccinated people in the same category as people who have had Covid-19 and gained natural immunity, and also are not advised to quarantine.
