The CDC has released new guidance for when Americans need to mask up indoors, saying about 70% of the population lives in a place where it's safe to go mask free.
two months later as the delta variant of the coronavirus surged and breakthrough cases rose.
Under the CDC’s new risk metrics, an area is deemed “high” risk if it has concerning levels of COVID-19 hospital admissions and hospital capacity taken up by COVID-19 patients. It makes sense for the CDC to put in place shared metrics for understanding risk, says Khan, “and then locally [for communities] to make decisions to relax mask guidelines based on what the local conditions are: how well people are vaccinated, how many people are going to hospitals, what sort of absenteeism levels you have [among hospital staff].”
