US Mask Related Rules: There has been no change in the guidelines related to masks in America. The White House gave this information. He said that no decision has been taken to change the Kovid-19 guidelines on wearing face masks. Press Secretary Jen Psaki emphasized Thursday that decisions about public health are made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), not the White House. He said that if there is any change in the guidelines, the decision will be taken by the CDC.
Under the current guidelines, people who have been fully vaccinated need not wear a mask while those who have not been vaccinated should wear a mask. The White House and public health officials are discussing whether the mask guidelines need to be changed as the highly contagious delta pattern has been blamed for the rise in COVID-19 cases (White House on Mask Relaxation). Meanwhile, White House officials said that the pace of vaccination is being increased in the states where cases of corona virus are increasing.
