The CDC Has Relaxed Mask Wearing Guidance: This is What You Should Know

Updated: Apr 29, 2021

Have you been itching to get rid of your mask? Are you fully vaccinated? Well, if you answered yes to both those questions this is your lucky day! The CDC now says that YOU (yes, you) can ditch your mask while outdoors for many types of gatherings. (There are some benefits for those who are unvaccinated as well, by the way).


Oh, and if you're wondering why the guidance change... there are a few reasons. America is getting vaccinated more and more each day (yippee!) AND we know that the risk of covid transmission is low outdoors. Sooo, here's a CDC chart that explains outdoor activities where you can safely unmask:


This chart reviews outdoor activities and it's important to keep in mind that vaccinated and unvaccinated people still need to wear masks while indoors for safety. For more details on this and outdoor mask guidelines, head over to the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/participate-in-activities.html.


Remember, being fully vaccinated means that at least 2 weeks have passed since your final COVID vaccine dose. If you've been on the fence about getting that 2nd vaccine dose (eh hmmm) you should definitely do this, but perhaps these new guidelines will give you more of a reason to do so- please don't skip it. Click below for reasons why you shouldn't skip the 2nd dose:

If you've been on the fence about getting the vaccine in general I could give you a hundred reasons why you should get vaccinated, but a good starting point is the things you can do once vaccinated. For a description of the things you can do once vaccinated (can you tell I'm a fan of the COVID vaccine?) watch the video below. As a quick note, it's a Youtube Live so you will get lots of chatter and conversation from me, but I hope it'll be helpful!


Stay safe & get vaccinated! Love y,all!

Definitely relieved. But also... weirded out? Like, for a year we've been told masks are life, and now, poof, mostly gone if you're vaxxed? It's kinda like the whiplash I felt when Flappy Bird got pulled from the app store. One minute EVERYONE was playing, the next...gone. Anyway, I'm vaxxed so I'm ditching the mask outside, cautiously. I guess it'll take time to rewire my brain. Thanks for the breakdown, Dr. Caudle. Needed that.

One of the most popular aspects of maid cleaning services is their flexibility. Clients can schedule weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly visits depending on their lifestyle and needs. Some only require a seasonal deep clean, while others https://maidinto.ca/ want continuous upkeep. Most cleaning companies allow you to customize the service according to specific rooms or tasks. This level of personalization ensures your home gets the care it needs without paying for services you don’t require.
