CLEVELAND, Ohio- As COVID-19 cases continue to grow while vaccinations in the U.S. continue to decline, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Wednesday recommended that fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors in areas with high transmission along with its previous recommendation that non-vaccinated people continue to wear masks.
This most recent recommendation is a reversal of the agency's previous recommendation on masks relative to vaccinated people.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden’s chief COVID-19 medical adviser, has said that the agency was reexamining mask recommendations for fully vaccinated Americans.
“We’re going in the wrong direction,” Fauci told reporters on Sunday
This news comes amid the surge of cases driven by the delta variant of the coronavirus.
Meanwhile, data show that most of the people in the U.S. who died from COVID-19 in 2021 were unvaccinated.
Last month, Andy Slavitt, a former adviser to the Biden administration on COVID-19, suggested that 98% to 99% of the Americans dying of the coronavirus are unvaccinated.
