Fox News
Health officials in the St. Louis area are now advising residents, regardless of vaccination status, to mask up while indoors amid rapid spread of the Delta COVID-19 variant.
Officials advised assuming that "1 in 3 people in any crowd or gathering may be unvaccinated," and to be aware that kids under 12 "will be unvaccinated and vulnerable in crowds to being exposed to COVID-19." Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), also said about 1,000 counties in the U.S. have vaccination rates below 30%, with all officials on the call stating that vaccinations are the most effective method of protection against these variants. She said the majority of low vaccination rates are occurring in the Midwest and Southeast. Missouri is one of 14 states on the lower end of vaccination rates in the U.S.
