House reimposes mask mandate after CDC issues new guidance

 | Print this article The House is reimposing a mask mandate after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new coronavirus guidance recommending fully vaccinated individuals to wear personal protective masks in certain indoor situations. Brian Monahan, the Capitol’s attending physician, issued a memo late Tuesday announcing the updated rules less than two months after the House lifted its mask mandate for fully vaccinated lawmakers and staff. For all House Office Buildings, the Hall of the House, and House Committee Meetings, wearing of a well-fitted, medical grade, filtration face mask is required when an individual is in an interior space and other individuals are present. To be clear, for meetings in an enclosed US House of Representatives controlled space, masks are REQUIRED, said Monahan, who warned fines will be levied against violators.

Masks again required in House of Representatives as delta surges

The White House official, Buchanan, the Texas Democrats and the Pelosi staffer who tested positive were all reportedly fully vaccinated. Pelosi s office said the aide tested positive after meeting with a group of Texas Democrats who came to Washington last week. COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective, but a small percentage of people who are fully vaccinated can still get COVID-19 if exposed to the virus that causes it, according to the CDC. The guidance Tuesday also reiterated that  Failure to wear a mask in the Hall of the House is subject to fines imposed for violation as contained in the previous House rule.
