COVID-19 face mask guidelines eased for millions of vaccinated Americans
The US is still recording tens of thousands of new COVID-19 cases daily, but the country’s public health officials have announced a big “step back to the normalcy of before”.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has eased its guidelines on wearing face masks for fully vaccinated Americans, saying people who have had complete doses of the jab can go mask-free outdoors unless they are in large crowds of strangers.
Previously, the guidance recommended that all Americans wore masks indoors and outdoors if within six feet, or about 1.8 metres, of other people.
More than half of all the adults in the US have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and about a third are fully vaccinated.
