White House COVID-19 Response Team holds briefing ahead of CDC announcement | USA TODAY

The CDC is expected Thursday to to relax guidelines for wearing masks indoors in a decision with major implications.

RELATED:

The new guidance will say that fully vaccinated people can safely stop wearing masks inside most places, The Associated Press reported.

The rules will still call for wearing masks in crowded indoor settings such as buses, planes, hospitals, prisons and homeless shelters but could ease restrictions for reopening workplaces and schools. In addition, the agency will no longer recommend that fully vaccinated people wear masks outdoors in crowds, possibly allowing for sporting events to allow in more fans.

  1. Fully Vacinated people are fully protected? So non vax people can not infect them. So why should non Vax people get vaccinated? If vax people are 100% safe from getting anything.

  2. Have to wear a mask on a airoplane but at concerts they don’t have to wear one.

  3. It is important to let folks know there is way more of us than them. We
    have voices that need to be heard. We have buying power and who we elect
    also. Keep up the good work. You are not alone. Dont be a antifa thug,
    be civil and show more respect than our elected officials have showed
    us.

    1. They lifted the mandate because people were quiting their jobs and getting more money from. Unemployment. In other words the government screwed up. Hyperinflation is coming and they will pay minimum wage 15 a hour because the money lost its value. The only people who will not get more income will be the disabled and elderly on social security. Their check will only increase a few dollars. Even if you get 15 dollars a hours it will be worth only ten dollars of purchasing price. The people think they are getting more but now can only afford less.. They are resetting the value of American currency.

  4. This is the best news I’ve heard in months! Finally, the CDC is following the science.

  5. Excuse me, but to someone living in another country, this move does not seem like a coincidence, or just science based. This release for vaccinated people is made when you just had your inflation numbers presented and they skyrocketed during april. To me, this is more of a strategic move to now get your economy back on its feet as fast as possible. While encouraging more to vaccinate of course.

    This we will follow with great interest abroad. And also what it will do for the economy. Best of luck to you guys.
