PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — As the CDC's updated guidance takes effect, many are grappling with how to re-emerge back into society.
After the experiences of the past year, there is no way to wave a magic wand and change things. If you haven't felt comfortable dining at a restaurant or you lost a loved one to COVID-19, the fact that you have been vaccinated may not be enough to start moving back into society.
It's important to take things at your own pace. There is nothing wrong with having second thoughts. Just because you don't have to wear a mask in certain settings anymore doesn't mean you have to put it away if you find it helps.
But also remember that it is not good for your overall mental well-being to remain isolated. There is great value to re-engaging. Start to make the effort.
