In a major breakthrough in the long fight against COVID-19, fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask when participating in either indoor or outdoor activities whether large or small or practice social distancing, according to the latest guidelines released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, M.D. announced the updated guidelines during a virtual briefing, citing the low risk of transmission, the universal access to the vaccine and its effectiveness against variants, and the low risk of serious symptoms for anyone who happens to still get COVID-19 after vaccination.
