Completely vaccinated people do not need to use tapping in exterior environments, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, announced on Tuesday, a step that the president celebrated as an "impressive progress" in the fight against pandemic.

"We still have a long way to go in this fight to reach July 4," Biden said in reference to the date he himself marked as a goal for the country to "independent" of the virus, the same day that is celebratedThe independence of the USA.UU.

"Covid-19 cases have gone dramatically and deaths continue to decrease," added the president.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated their guidelines on Tuesday, indicating that vaccinated people can do outdoor activities safely without the need for mask.

The new cases of COVID-19 have fallen 16% in the last week, while EE.UU. superó los 140 millones de personas que recibieron al menos una inyección de vacunas autorizadas de Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna o la vacuna de una dosis de Johnson & Johnson.

President Joe Biden announced the relaxation of the recommendations on Tuesday, one day before he pronounced a speech against Congress.Until now, the CDC recommended that the people who were vaccinated maintain distances and use tapping in public and with people who were not vaccinated.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of Biden's main counselors about COVID-19, suggested during the weekend that new more flexible guidelines were going to be announced in the next few days.

“CDCs are an organization based on science and do not want to issue guidelines that are not backed by data (....) But if one looks in the common sense of the situation, the risk is very low, especially if one is vaccinated, ”Fauci told the NBC chain.

Avanza la vacunación, pese al escepticismo

Although, according to CDC data, 28.9% of the American population is already completely vaccinated, there are also millions of people who have decided not to wear the second dose of vaccines that require two injections.

Five million people have skipped the second dose, according to CDC, for concerns about side effects or because they ensure that there was not enough offer in health centers to obtain a second dose.

La vacuna de una sola dosis, de Johnson & Johnson, fue retirada de circulación hace poco más de dos semanas, después de que se reportaran seis casos de coágulos de sangre en mujeres que la recibieron.On Friday, however, the country's health agencies raised the break and has begun to be applied again, this time with a label alerting the risks of clots.
