Thursday s announcement by the CDC reversing masking recommendations for fully vaccinated Americans in outdoor and most indoor spaces is being hailed by Beshear as news we ve all been waiting for.
He said the administration will immediately set about aligning its language with the latest from the federal agency. This is outstanding. It means that we are so close to normalcy, the governor said in a brief video address. We re going to be changing Kentucky s mask mandate to be the same with those CDC guidelines.
Yet the news hasn t been greeted quite as enthusiastically from all quarters.
Reuters reports the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union has labeled the guidelines confusing and raised concerns about how the change will impact essential retail and grocery workers who come into contact with unvaccinated patrons who sometimes refuse to wear masks.

Washington: The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday advised that fully vaccinated people do not need to wear masks outdoors and can avoid wearing them indoors in most places, updating guidance the agency said will allow life to begin to return to normal.
The CDC, which hopes the guidance will prod more Americans to get vaccinated, also said fully immunized people will not need to physically distance in most places.
The turnaround came just 16 days since CDC issued revised guidance that left many restrictions in place for vaccinated people. The agency came under fire in March for initially discouraging immunized grandparents to fly to visit loved ones.
