McCarthy, GOP Doctors Caucus to introduce resolution for vote to roll back House mask policy
Fox News
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and the House GOP Doctors Caucus are introducing a resolution to update the House mask policy so it reflects the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) newest guidance for vaccinated people.
Specifically, the resolution directs the House attending physician to update the "mask wearing guidance" currently in effect over the House of Representatives and committee rooms "for Members and staff who are vaccinated against Covid-19" so that they are in line with the CDC’s new guidance. The lawmakers cited the new guidance as well as the "three widely-available vaccines against Covid-19" and National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci's statement that vaccinated people are at low risk of spreading the disease as reasons for the rule change.More Related News
