The governors of Virginia and Maryland on Friday joined a slew of other states in lifting indoor mask mandates after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Thursday that Americans who are fully vaccinated do not have to wear masks in most settings. 
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) announced the update in a video message shared by his office, calling the new CDC guidance a “tremendous step forward.” 
Northam said in the video that Virginia residents who are fully vaccinated — meaning 14 days have passed since their final dose — no longer have to wear masks “in most situations,” but businesses in the state “may still choose to require masks in their establishments and masks will still be required in schools.”
