Washington – President Joe Biden has hailed a “great day for America” as United States officials said vaccinated people can go mask-less in most indoor and outdoor settings.
The president removed his mask in the Oval Office with Republican lawmakers as the guidance was being announced.
The advice still calls for wearing masks in crowded indoor settings like buses, planes and hospitals.
The Biden administration has faced pressure to ease restrictions on fully vaccinated people.
In another major step for the US in returning to pre-pandemic life, the president of the 1.7m-member American Federation of Teachers labour union called for schools to reopen fully in the autumn.

In a virtual speech Thursday morning, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, Rani Weingarten, gave her union’s support for fully reopening public school this fall, The New York Times reports.
“There is no doubt: Schools must be open. In-person. Five days a week,” Weingarten said.
“The United States will not be fully back until we are fully back in schools,” she said, according to the New York Post.
How would the fall school reopening work?
Several states immediately and enthusiastically embraced new guidelines from the CDC that say fully vaccinated Americans no longer need to wear masks indoors or out in most.
