The movement to make masks mandatory again in the United States "Delta stock" rapidly expanded

In the United States, where the infection of the new mutated coronavirus confirmed in India is widespread, there are movements to make it mandatory or recommend wearing masks again in various places.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the "Delta strain" of the mutant virus identified in India is estimated to spread rapidly in the United States, accounting for approximately 83% of infected cases.

The CDC guidelines state that people who have been vaccinated do not, in principle, need to wear a mask, but several US media reports that the Biden administration has begun to consider recommendations for wearing a mask.

At a press conference on the 22nd, CDC Director Warrensky said that the guidelines do not need to be changed at this time, but as the mutant virus spreads, there is a lot of debate over wearing masks.
