In a profound sign of America’s progress against COVID-19, federal officials on Thursday announced a sweeping relaxation of face mask guidelines, which now suggest fully vaccinated people can stop wearing masks in most places — either outdoors or inside.
The move is a milestone moment in the pandemic, upending one of the most basic safety protocols to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. It comes as daily coronavirus cases in California and most other parts of the United States are plummeting and more people are getting vaccinated.
“Today is a great day for America,” President Biden said. “It’s been made possible by the extraordinary success we’ve had in vaccinating so many Americans so quickly.”
Though there has been growing pressure to end mask mandates, the sweeping changes stunned some people who had become used to wearing masks. Some experts expressed concern that the relaxation would make it easier for the unvaccinated to flout rules and shed masks inside stores and other businesses, putting people at greater risk who cannot be vaccinated, such as young children with preexisting health conditions. But others hope it will encourage more people to get vaccinated.

TThis is correct. Don't take off the mask in such a hurry, and we need to abide by the current rule.We can't relax for one day.
