CDC Says Vaccinated People Don't Have to Wear Masks Outside

Summary from the AllSides News Team

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released updated guidelines on Tuesday regarding mask-wearing amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The new "interim public health recommendations" say vaccinated people don't have to wear a mask outside unless in a crowded group of people; the CDC says vaccinated people should still avoid indoor large-sized in-person gatherings. Twenty-nine percent of Americans had been fully vaccinated as of Monday morning. News outlets on all sides covered the new guidelines prominently Tuesday; there were few notable differences in coverage.
