In the US, stop the obligation to wear masks outdoors for vaccinated against covid. Speaking from the White House, President Joe Biden confirmed what was already anticipated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the update of the anti-coronavirus guidelines.
Thanks to the “extraordinary progress” made in the fight against the virus, fully vaccinated people will no longer have to wear masks outdoors, except in the presence of large gatherings. “When I took office in January, we were literally losing tens of thousands of our seniors every week at that time, less than 1% of seniors were fully vaccinated. Today, in less than 100 days, over 67%, two thirds of our seniors are fully vaccinated and over 80% have had at least one dose “, underlined the US president.
This success of the vaccination campaign, Biden said, “resulted in an 80% decline in deaths among older Americans and a 70% decline in hospital admissions.”
