The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced new guidelines Tuesday for wearing masks outdoors. According to the new recommendations, both vaccinated and unvaccinated people can participate in outdoor activities without a mask. Masks should still be worn while attending a crowded outdoor event, such as a concert.
“It’s common sense, said Minnesota Department of Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm. It is reflecting what a lot of folks are already doing.
Malcolm spoke alongside Gov. Tim Walz at an event in Richfield.
“I’m glad the CDC did that,” said Walz, who also urged Minnesotans to remain vigilant. “Our numbers have come down but they re still high.”
