US President Joe Biden will soon announce new guidelines for wearing outdoor masks for those vaccinated against COVID-19.
Currently, the CDC recommends that vaccinators also wear a mask when meeting with two or more non-vaccinated persons in public places.
It was observed that the new guidelines would contain some easing of the current practice of requiring even vaccinations to wear masks outdoors.
[Anthony Pouch/U.S. National Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Center Director: From common sense, the risk is clearly very low. Especially if they are vaccinated.] In
Germany, measures to ease the blockade for vaccinated people have been in earnest.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on the 26th local time that vaccinators will be able to shop without a separate diagnostic test result, and that they will be exempt from self-isolation, which was mandatory if they entered the country from abroad.
He also said that starting in June, the priorities for vaccination will disappear and anyone can get the vaccine.
