Per Austonia; Normal is back! CDC lifts mask requirements for fully vaccinated citizens indoors and outdoors
Normal is back! CDC says fully vaccinated can gather without masks
Get ready for festival season: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is no longer recommending fully vaccinated individuals take certain COVID-19 precautions, such as wearing a mask and social distancing.
Their guidance does leave room for exceptions, such as when on a bus or a plane or in a hospital, prison or homeless shelter.
The decision comes after new data shows the effectiveness of vaccines against the virus and its variants; it also showed COVID is unlikely to be transmitted between vaccinated people.
Kids are the next in line to start getting the vaccine with Pfizer getting emergency use authorization for 12-15 year olds. This week, Austin ISD announced it wouldn't require students to wear masks during outdoor physical activities.
In Travis County, just over 47% of those 16 and older are fully vaccinated. Click here for the Austonia version & Article.
