HuffPost
Coronavirus cases are rising again across the country and vaccination rates are plateauing.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending that all people, regardless of vaccination status, wear masks when in certain public places as the nation continues to see growing coronavirus cases. This new recommendation is for parts of the U.S. where cases of the coronavirus are surging, as well as everyone in K-12 schools, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky said Tuesday. Roughly 46% of counties in the U.S. are seeing high transmission levels of the virus. Florida, Missouri, Louisiana, Arkansas and Alabama have reported the highest number of positive cases in the latest seven-day period, according to the latest CDC data.More Related News
