West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice announced last Friday, May 14 that he was dropping the state’s mask mandate for vaccinated residents under new CDC guidance. The Centers for Disease Control late last week said masks were optional given vaccination rates and new COVID case data.
Gov. Justice said that anyone who is fully vaccinated against COVID can participate in indoor and outdoor activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing, regardless of crowd size.
“Our face covering requirement no longer applies to you if you are fully vaccinated,” Gov. Justice said.
The Governor emphasized that the lifting of the face covering requirement only applies to those who have been fully vaccinated; meaning that at least two weeks have elapsed since the administration of a second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or that at least two weeks have elapsed since the administration of a first dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
