New Mask Guidelines

CDC Eases Outdoor Mask Guidelines for Vaccinated Individuals

On April 27, 2021, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) released an illustration of its updated guidelines with a chart that ranks activities from "safest to less safe to least safe" for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people. The new CDC guidance states that fully vaccinated Americans can go without masks outdoors when walking, jogging, or biking outdoors, dining with friends at outdoor restaurants and having small outdoor gatherings with a mix of vaccinated and unvaccinated people. Even unvaccinated individuals may go without masks when walking, jogging, or biking outdoors, which may bring an end to outdoor mask mandates in many public spaces.
