The US is slowly returning to its life before the pandemic arises and the CDC i.e. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the people who are fully vaccinated are no longer need to wear masks. The CDC also said the suggestion is not just for indoors but is for outdoors as well. US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were present before the reporters at the venue of Rose Garden of the White House without face masks.
Joe Biden even said, “I think it’s a great milestone. A great day. It’s been made possible by the extraordinary success we’ve had in vaccinating so many Americans so quickly”. The President also added, “Therefore, if you’ve been fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask. But if you’ve not been vaccinated, or if you’ve been getting a two-shot vaccine and you’ve only had your first shot but not your second, or you haven’t waited the full two weeks after your second shot, you still need to wear a mask”.
Mr. Biden added to the statement, “We are seeing the results. Cases are down in 49 of 50 states. New York Times has reported that hospitalizations are the lowest they’ve been since April of 2020, over a year ago, right after the start of the pandemic. Deaths are down 80 percent and also at their lowest level since April of 2020”. “In less than four months, we’ve gone from 5.5 percent to nearly 60 percent of the adults in America with at least one shot in their arm. We’ve gone from stagnation to an economy that is growing faster than it has in nearly 40 years. We’ve gone from anemic job creation to a record for job creation for a new administration”.
The guidelines issued by CDC mentioned that only fully vaccinated people of the US can resume their activities without wearing a mask or any social distancing except for the places where it is required as per the territorial, tribal, local, state, or federal rules and regulations. People who are traveling within the US, do not require to get a test before or after their travel.
