Alaska health officials expressed their excitement about new CDC guidelines that donât require fully vaccinated people to wear a mask or physically distance in most of settings. However, for communities with high virus transmission and low vaccination rates, the advice is to stay cautious and evaluate your risks.
Fully vaccinated people â those who completed their vaccination series more than two weeks ago â can now resume activities without wearing a mask or staying six feet apart in most indoors and outdoors settings, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention.
âWe are just happy to see this new guidance the CDC put out,â state epidemiologist Joe McLaughlin said during a Thursday news briefing.
