What counts as the contagious period? It starts two days before a personвЂ™s symptoms began. Sharing enclosed spaces with such a person, especially ones that donвЂ™t have good ventilation or for prolonged times, also can be counted. Even if it was a shorter encounter, but the person sneezed near you or you ate or drank from shared dishes or utensils that counts too. What counts as an exposure or close contact? A general rule of thumb is you were within six feet of someone with COVID-19 for 15 minutes or more (masked or unmasked, indoors or outdoors) during their contagious period.

And more people are getting vaccinated, which protects them from serious illness and death if they get infected.В The guidance has also changed to reflect the more infectious nature of the Delta variant, which is more likely to lead to infectionВ in vaccinated people that, while they don't cause the vaccinated person to get seriously ill, could still be transmitted to others.
