Fox News
More states and cities – most recently Washington D.C., on Thursday afternoon – are bringing back full mask mandates or strong masking recommendations in the wake of the new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance that most vaccinated people should wear masks in indoor public places.
We warned you not to throw away your masks. Hopefully you didn't. Wash them up. "Given the trends in cases that we see that we want to get ahead of it and nip it in the bud as best we can – and we know that masks can be very effective in doing that – so beginning this Saturday at 5 a.m. I will issue by mayor's order the directive that people over the age of 2 must wear a mask indoors regardless of their vaccination status," D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said. "I know that D.C. residents have very closely following the public health guidelines and they will embrace this. Our businesses will embrace it," Bowser added.More Related News
