CDC Eases Outdoor Mask Restrictions , for Vaccinated Americans.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced
the new guidelines on Tuesday.
Those who are fully vaccinated can forgo masks
when outdoors and socially distanced from others.
The CDC's guidance extends to small outdoor gatherings
of people who are fully vaccinated, as well.
The CDC continues to recommend masks for
situations in which the vaccination of others is unknown, .
including outdoor sporting
events, concerts and other large
gathering places and events.
For indoor spaces including malls and movie theaters,
the CDC continues to advise wearing a mask.
The CDC's new guidelines come as mass vaccinations
in the U.S. continue to exceed two million a day.
Dr. Anthony Fauci recently
stated that the pandemic
in the U.S. will likely reach a
turning point “within a few weeks.”
