A relative handful of Americans have received the vaccine to protect against the novel coronavirus. But according to HuffPost, it's unclear if those lucky few can still pass along the virus to others, even if they themselves aren't infected. Likewise, it's important to remember that even after getting the jab, it takes the body at least a month to build up its immunity to COVID-19. Therefore, it's essential to continue following proven public health measures, like universal masking, handwashing, and physical distancing. Experts say Americans shouldn't start to relax on observing these measures until roughly 70% of the population has been vaccinated.
Researchers have found that dividing large groups into smaller sub-groups that don't intermix can help contain COVID-19. The limiting of interactions without wider lockdowns helps stop the spread of the virus. These findings were shared in an analysis published Tuesday by the journal Chaos. According to UPI, the goal is to limit "random" interactions between people in affected communities. As a result, these separations can curtail the spread of disease before it can expand across larger areas and populations.
