If this doesn't change anything for people who have been vaccinated, those who don't have a full regimen - or who don't have a dose - will experience a big change: instead of just seven days of self-isolation followed by testing. planned for travelers from one of the countries on the orange list, they will now have to respect a quarantine of 10 days which will be controlled by the police.
Explosion of cases and Omicron
This decision comes at a time when the United States is facing a very sharp increase in daily contaminations and when many inhabitants have crossed the country for the holiday season.

The quarantine period for unvaccinated contact cases is also reduced from 14 to 5 days.
As for vaccinated contact cases, they do not need to isolate themselves.
