People who have been vaccinated "must still wear a mask"

People who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 must still wear a protective mask and follow the rules of social distance.

The vaccine protects the immunized person, and the mask protects others, the Ministry of Health explains.

Clinical studies show that vaccination prevents symptomatic forms of the disease, but it has not been studied whether asymptomatic infection is also prevented.

For this reason, researchers still do not know if a vaccinated person can become asymptomatically infected and can pass on the virus, the Ministry of Health said in a Facebook post.
