CDC Live Updates: CDC to Issue New Guidelines on Masks for COVID Vaccinated, Students in Schools

Live Updates

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expected to issue new guidance Tuesday afternoon for vaccinated people to begin wearing face masks when indoors in certain parts of the U.S.

The anticipated recommendation would revise a May guidance from the CDC that people fully vaccinated from COVID-19 do not need to wear masks indoors.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief COVID-19 medical adviser for President Joe Biden, said the CDC was reconsidering mask guidances for vaccinated citizens after a recent and severe uptick in infections in the U.S

“We’re going in the wrong direction,” he told CNN on Sunday while talking about the surge.

The CDC is expected to announce the new protocol at a news conference at 3 p.m. (EDT).
