The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made substantive changes to its coronavirus guidance on Aug. 11, citing protections that most Americans have from the virus through vaccinations and boosters or previous infection.
The changes include dropping the 6-foot standard in social distancing and the guideline for unvaccinated people without symptoms or a positive test to quarantine after a known exposure to someone with COVID-19.
Meanwhile, the community level of COVID in Allegheny County is medium, as of Aug. 12.
