The new recommendations are a major change in how the federal government is approaching pandemic guidance.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that more than 70% of Americans should be able to remove their masks indoors, including inside schools, under new metrics outlined on Friday.More than 70% of Americans should be able to remove their masks indoors, including inside schools, under new metrics outlined Friday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that represent a seismic shift in how the public health agency plans to measureUnder the new metrics, more than half of U.S.
Under previous rules, the CDC primarily considered COVID-19 case counts to determine risk. And because case counts remained high, the public health agency had stuck to its recommendation of indoor masking, including inside schools. Based on that risk level, which could fluctuate, a community could opt to remove mask recommendations indoors or pull back on other mitigation measures, such as surveillance testing. If those risk factors climbed, putting a community at"high" risk, the CDC recommends that a community urges its residents to return to masks and step up other precautions.
The new guidance recommends that people who are at high-risk of COVID-19 complications should talk to their doctor about how to stay safe in a community that might have moderate risk levels. CDC has previously recommended wearing a high-quality mask, such as a tight-fitting N95 version and avoiding areas with low vaccination levels.
