    No isolation for fully vaccinated close contacts? They can carry the virus onto anyone who is unvaccinated and even get sick themselves. I don’t understand.

    What do you mean that if vaccinated no need to isolate – if in contact vaccinated people can still get the virus and carry it to others – isolate if you have been in contact please – think of others and GET VACCINATED and maintain social distancing and for heavens sake wear a mask
