TOLEDO, Ohio — In the fight against COVID, medical professionals are seeing a downward trend in cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
If you haven't noticed, signs letting you know you don't have to wear a mask inside if you're fully vaccinated have been popping up at several stores and locations.
"For those that are fully vaccinated, the risk of them either being infected or spreading an infection is very low. And I think from that standpoint, they can feel safe," said Dr. James Tita, the Chief Medical Officer at Mercy Health St. Vincent.
