IF you are Fully Vaccinated, you No Longer Need to Wear a Mask Outside at Most Events

 The Director of the Center for Disease Control, Dr. Rochelle Walensky articulated new CDC guidelines on mask-wearing today (April 27, 2021) for people who are fully vaccinated from the Coronavirus.

Fully Vaccinated People (as shown in the below CDC chart) can now participate in most outdoor activities without wearing a mask. The one exception is large outdoor gatherings like outside music performances or sporting events.

People who are not yet fully vaccinated will still need to wear masks at:

  • Small outdoor events where other unvaccinated people are.
  • Outside dining.
  • Large outdoor crowded events.

All people (vaccinated or otherwise) are still expected to wear masks in most indoor settings.

President Biden, in comments after the CDC announcement, thanked the American People who did their "patriotic duty" in getting vaccinated and urged those that had not scheduled an appointment to immediately do so, stressing "it's easy and free,"  and emphasizing that "yes vaccines are about saving your life but also the lives of the people around you."

It is very important to follow CDC guidelines to protect yourself and those around you.

Follow the guidance of the experts and not the idiocy of commentators on Fox Island (looking at you Tucker Carlson.)

If you have not already, schedule an appointment to receive the COVID 19 vaccination.

The country and the American People can not fully return to normal until the great majority of the country is vaccinated.

Do your part.
