Mask Mandates Sew Confusion Amid New CDC Guidelines.
Many states and municipalities are keeping their mask mandates despite the loosing of CDC mask requirements. (New York Times)
“At least 20 states that still had mask mandates in place this week said by Friday evening that they would exempt fully vaccinated people or repeal the orders entirely, while at least five others with mask requirements had not announced any changes. The rapidly changing rules brought an end to more than a year of mandatory masking in much of the country, even as some said they were not yet ready to take off their face coverings.
”
Some states and municipalities are still requiring people to mask up. The CDC sent shock waves through the world of epidemiology when it proclaimed that the fully vaccinated no longer needed to wear a mask in most situations. How does anybody know who is fully vaccinated and who is not? Some stores immediately removed mask requirements for the fully vaccinated, so are just on the honor system? Less opaque guidelines are needed keep the public informed about masking.
