Coronavirus in the United States – vaccinated were allowed not to wear masks

“Anyone who is fully vaccinated can participate in indoor or outdoor activities, large or small, without wearing a mask or physically distancing themselves,” said the head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Rochelle Walensky.

At the same time, she noted that the vaccinated can return to the usual way of life, which they led before the pandemic.

“If you are fully vaccinated, you can start doing what you stopped doing because of the pandemic. We have all waited a long time for this moment when we can return to normal life,” added the head of the American regulator.

However, she stressed that masks will be necessary in some cases. In particular, when crossing the border.

It is noted that about 59% of American adults have received at least one coronavirus vaccine. At the same time, new cases of COVID in the United States, meanwhile, have been declining for several weeks. However, the pace of vaccinations has slowed, raising concerns about whether hesitation will prevent widespread protection among the population.
