New data on the delta variant has prompted the CDC to recommend that even fully vaccinated people wear masks in public indoor settings in areas with substantial or high coronavirus transmission.
That includes all of Arizona except Yuma and Cochise counties, which have moderate transmission.
People vaccinated against COVID-19 rarely have breakthrough infections, and nearly all new cases and hospitalizations occur among unvaccinated people.
But in those rare cases, data suggest that vaccinated people might be equally likely as unvaccinated people to spread the delta variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Unlike the alpha variant that we had back in May where we didn t believe that if you were vaccinated, you could transmit further this is different, said CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
