Vaccinated Americans Can Breathe All Over Each Other Outdoors Again, Says CDC
Latest

On Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated the covid-19 safety guidelines, announcing that fully vaccinated Americans can forgo face masks outdoors, except for when they are in crowded settings. That means, according to this new CDC update, you’re free to spread your aerosol emissions all over your fellow vaccinated friends, loved ones, and strangers you pass by at the park with minimal concern.
The CDC’s website states that those who are two weeks past their final vaccination shot can “gather or conduct activities outdoors without wearing a mask except in certain crowded settings and venues.” In other words, outdoor activities like jogging, hiking, and bike riding, as well as outdoor get-togethers with people from multiple households are a-okay. Gone are the days of spreading out beach towels six feet apart from your pals, but let’s be real: Plenty of people weren’t following those guidelines outdoors anyway. At least now there’s less concern about getting someone sick in the process.
