Hold yer horses, folks! The CDC has gone and given us a brand spankin’ new definition of what it means to be in ‘close contact’. Now, before ya start scratchin’ yer noggin’, let me break it down for ya.
A Whole New Ball Game
Listen up, lads and lasses! The CDC used to define close contact as bein’ within 6 feet of someone with COVID-19 for a total of 15 minutes or more. But now they’ve thrown us a curveball. They’re sayin’ that even brief encounters can put you at risk if you’re face-to-face with an infected individual without no mask.
Unmasking the Truth
Bloody hell! This new twist means that those quick chats at the pub or bump-ins at the shops could land you in hot water. If you find yerself chattin’ away with someone who’s got the virus, even if it’s just for a couple o’ minutes, consider yerself exposed like a bare bum on Geordie Shore.
Takin’ Precautions Seriously
No need to panic just yet, mates. While this change might seem like we’re playin’ by different rules now, there are still ways to protect ourselves. Keep wearin’ them masks when minglin’, wash yer hands like ye’ve been diggin’ coal all day long, and give each other some space – preferably more than six feet!
In Conclusion
All in all, this fresh take from the CDC is remindin’ us that COVID-19 ain’t messin’ about. It’s time we step up our game and take this virus seriously. So, next time you’re out and about, remember to keep yer distance, mask up like a proper Geordie lad or lass, and stay safe!
