The CDC announced that vaccinated people can say goodbye to masks in most situations. However, they will have to wear masks and keep social distance when they go to medical appointments, visit hospitals and travel by plane.


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) determined Thursday that

fully vaccinated people will no longer need the mask

 in most cases, even indoors.

The decision represents a considerable change after 14 months in which the use of masks was required in most public places in the country. 

The rule change brings a return to normality, although the CDC continues to recommend wearing a mask in transportation and in some places where contagion may be easier or put vulnerable populations at risk.
