Vaccinated Americans may get clearance as soon as Tuesday to doff masks outdoors. The governors of New York and New Jersey both took steps to ease restrictions on crowds as infections and hospitalizations continue to slow in the metropolitan region.
The U.S. said it would send 60 million doses of AstraZeneca PLC’s coronavirus vaccine abroad, and President Joe Biden pledged his full support to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he combats the world’s largest surge in Covid-19 cases. Biden plans to announce on Tuesday new guidance on wearing masks outdoors for vaccinated people, CNN reported.
