Those who are fully vaccinated will not longer be required to wear a mask on the Maysville Community and Technical College.
Brady Shultz, the director of marketing and public relations for MCTC, sent the notice out on Monday that said employees, students and visitors will not longer need to wear a mask in any area, except “in the governor’s recently amended order.”
“The order permits fully vaccinated individuals to go mask-less immediately, while those who have not yet obtained a vaccine should continue to wear masks until June 11,” Shultz said. “Social distancing is still recommended to all students, employees and campus visitors.”
The Centers for Disease Control recently announced that guidelines for those who are fully vaccinated would be relaxed.
According to the CDC, anyone fully vaccinated may resume daily activities they did prior to the pandemic and resume those activities without a mask, except in locations where federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.
Other guidelines for those fully vaccinated include:
— Travel in the United States without getting tested before or after travel or self quarantining after travel.
— Travel outside the United States without getting tested unless the travel destination requires it. However, travelers will need to show a negative COVID-19 test result before returning to the US and should get tested three to five days after returning to the US.
— If a person comes in contact with someone who has COVID-19, they do not need to stay away from others or get tested unless symptoms begin to show. However, those who work in correctional facilities or homeless shelters should get tested.
The CDC considers a person fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna shot or two weeks after receiving the one-dose Johnson & Johnson shot.
“If you don’t meet these requirements, regardless of your age, you are not fully vaccinated. Keep taking all precautions until you are fully vaccinated,” the CDC said. If you have a condition or are taking medications that weaken your immune system, you may NOT be fully protected even if you are fully vaccinated. Talk to your healthcare provider. Even after vaccination, you may need to continue taking all precautions.”
