CDC To Recommend Vaccinated People Wear Masks Indoors
"New data suggests vaccinated individuals could have higher levels of virus and infect others amid the surge of cases driven by the delta variant of the coronavirus." - USA Today
"We are at a very different point in the pandemic than we were a month ago," Dr. Leana Wen told CNN on Tuesday. "And, therefore, we should follow the example of LA County and say that if there are places where vaccinated and unvaccinated people are mixing, then indoor mask mandates should still apply."- Dr. Leana Wen / CNN
Here's what we know:
-
CDC will recommend everyone in K-12 schools wear a mask -- regardless of vaccination status -- in the new guidance.
-
NYC mandates weekly testing for unvaccinated city workers.
-
The Delta variant could lead to hyperlocal outbreaks.
-
Savannah, Georgia first major city to resume mask mandates for indoor spaces after cases triple.
