COLUMBUS, Ohio — The World Health Organization is urging fully-vaccinated people to continue to wear masks and social distance as the highly contagious delta variant keeps spreading.
The CDC said they are leaving it up to local officials to set guidelines for mask-wearing as several parts of the country, including central Ohio, are still inching toward a 70% vaccination status.
