reporter: the question is how long before protests like this come here? will we need our own trucker rally to end all of this insanity once and for all? what is the main goal, the main objective of the truckers there? freedom. reporter: tony o sullivan, cnn, ottawa. the white house and top health experts are working on how to best steer the u.s. into a new phase of the pandemic but a growing number of states are tired of waiting and they re already rolling back restrictions especially when it comes to masking. for now the white house is saying masks should be worn in schools. if you are a parent, a teacher, a student living in a state where that is no longer recommended, should you still follow the ctc guidelines?
now in public indoor settings. our hospitalizations are still high, our death rates are still high, so as we work towards that and as we are encouraged by the current trends, we are not there yet. given that the cdc guideline still remains that masking is recommended in schools, if you are a parent, a teacher, a student living in a state where that is no longer recommended, should you still follow the cdc guideline? yes. this is where we would advise any american to follow the cdc guidelines. of course it was the cdc head that quickly said take your mask off after those vaccinations back before delta, so maybe they are once bitten twice shy. all of this, though, raises the thorny and very complicated question for democratic governors, are they actually following the science on these mandates or following the souring political environment on mandates? yesterday statements from democratic governors on easing restrictions seemed to have them caught a bit in the middle. new yorkers
