What the CDC s New Outdoor Masking Guidance Means for Travelers Shannon McMahon © Getty
As coronavirus vaccinations mount and the United States approaches its travel and outdoor-activity high season (summer), U.S. health experts have issued a new category of COVID-19 health guidance: The scenarios in which Americans may forgo a face covering, one of the current pandemic’s biggest health tools.
The relaxed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations state it is safe to unmask outdoors if you are vaccinated; in or near large gatherings require everyone to use a face covering, regardless of vaccination status, because there is currently not enough data to show whether vaccinated people can harbor and transmit the virus. But one development of note: Unvaccinated people can unmask outdoors in certain scenarios without social distancing, now that vaccinations are on the rise and because the risk of transmitting the virus is much lower outside.
