CDC Approves Vaccinated People To Go Maskless
Recently, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, the newest guidance on outdoor mask use gives Americans the freedom to comfortably interact with both vaccinated and non-vaccinated small groups. However, large indoor gatherings are still discouraged and should be avoided even for vaccinated people.
Fully vaccinated people can now unmask at small outdoor gatherings, or when dining outside with friends from multiple households. The CDC is telling unvaccinated people that they still need to wear a mask at such gatherings.”If you are fully vaccinated and want to attend a small outdoor gathering with people who are vaccinated and unvaccinated, or dine at an outdoor restaurant with friends from multiple households, the science shows if you are vaccinated, you can do so safely unmasked,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said during a virtual White House briefing on Tuesday.
