Additional background: CDC eases indoor mask mandate as COVID-19 cases drop

Mon, 2022-02-28 08:53 — mike kraft
CDC eases indoor mask mandate as COVID-19 cases drop - Roll Call Agency also recommends that masks be worn in schools only in parts of the country with high COVID-19 transmission. Roll Call

Most Americans no longer need to wear masks indoors because of COVID-19, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations announced Friday, signaling a shift into the next phase of the pandemic.

The CDC is also recommending that masks be worn in schools only in parts of the country with high transmission. The agency’s new guidelines rely on how much of an impact the pandemic has on the health care system and severity of disease, rather than just the number of COVID-19 cases and amount of virus transmission in a community.
