The CDC issued a new guidance Tuesday morning regarding the mask mandate for fully vaccinated people. Under the new CDC guidance fully vaccinated people are able to walk, run or bike outdoors with members of their own household without a mask. The new guidance also states that the fully vaccinated people can be mask-less for small outdoor gatherings and for outdoor dining with people from other households. Masks are still urged for everyone vaccinated or not attending an indoor activity or indoor businesses and for anyone at a crowded outdoor event such as concerts, parades, or sporting events. The CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said for people fully vaccinated against COVID "things are much safer for you than those who are not fully vaccinated" during a White House briefing.
Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement that the state has reviewed the new guidelines "and with science and data as our guide, we are moving to align California's guidance with these common-sense updates."
