Fox News
Several top health experts are touting new federal guidelines on practices considered safe for fully vaccinated populations against COVID-19, while underscoring the importance of masking up in high risk and public settings.
"This guidance is really thoughtful," Dr. Anne Liu, infectious disease physician at Stanford Health Care, wrote to Fox News. "It balances removing some precautions under low risk conditions while maintaining them in high risk and public situations." Liu said the guidance on mask use in particular was reasonable given persistent virus spread in communities, and given the majority of the country's population has yet to roll their sleeves and receive a vaccine. According to data compiled by the CDC, approximately 90% of the U.S. population is not yet fully vaccinated.More Related News
