On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said those who have been fully vaccinated can go without wearing a mask in many indoor settings.
President Joe Biden issued a statement Thursday to Americans who may be on the fence about getting the COVID-19 vaccine following the CDC's update to it's mask guidance as COVID-19 vaccinations continue throughout the country.
During an address in the Rose Garden, the President said "If you are fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask."
Later in his speech, he told the American people to "get vaccinated — or wear a mask until you do."
Biden reiterated the message in a tweet, writing: The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do. The choice is yours."
Two weeks ago the health agency said wearing masks outdoors was no longer necessary for those who were fully vaccinated.
