The CDC says fully-vaccinated people can ditch their masks, but the mandate in California remains the same for now. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Wolensky said yesterday fully-vaccinated people don’t have to wear masks or physically distance in most circumstances, both indoors and outdoors. However, the state of California has not yet adopted the new guidelines. The CDC says people who are not fully vaccinated should continue to wear masks until they are. As of Thursday, about 37% of Californians had been fully vaccinated for COVID-19.
