The CDCâs reversal on masks comes more than two months after the announcement that those vaccinated didnât need to wear face coverings indoors or outdoors.
At that time, the Delta variant was not prominent in the country and cases were low. With the newer, more contagious variation of COVID-19, the CDC is recommending masks once again.
Over the past week, Idaho has reported 1,702 new cases of COVID-19 and 12 COVID-19-related deaths. There have been a total of 199,158 COVID-19 cases and 2,189 COVID-19-related deaths in Idaho since the start of the pandemic. Details at https://t.co/BYu73fcA9Z DHW (@IDHW) July 27, 2021
