Wisconsin residents who are fully vaccinated can ditch the face masks and return to activities they did before the COVID-19 pandemic, the state’s health department said Friday. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services said it supported the new guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday that fully vaccinated people can largely resume pre-pandemic lives, including not wearing face masks indoors in most instances. DHS Secretary-designee Karen Timberlake said the new guidance for people who are fully vaccinated, considered to occur two weeks after completing a vaccination series, is “an exciting step forward.” “The science is clear: if you are fully vaccinated, you are protected, and you can start doing the things that you stopped doing because of the pandemic,” Timberlake said in a statement.
