Beyond those basic measures, the CDC has listed other factors that can help communities determine when to relax masking protocols.from July 2021 also listed vaccination coverage and the virus's impact on local hospitals as factors in considering when to ease up on masking.
"Our hospitalization rates are still quite high," Walensky said, adding that hospitalization and death data also should be key factors in determining if and when mitigation guidance, such as masking, should be lifted.Other experts suggest that the metrics to determine mask use should not be limited to local areas, or even the United States.
"I understand perfectly well that we're trying to go back to having a normal society, but the truth is that this virus came not at our request," Piedra said."It came, and it has had a huge societal impact in terms of death and hospitalization in the U.S. and many other countries."One of the most glaring examples of the global impact of the coronavirus is the omicron variant, which became dominant in the U.S.
