Dr. Anthony Fauci says federal guidance on wearing face coverings indoors may change soon. When asked Sunday on ABC News, whether it’s time to start relaxing indoor masks requirements, Fauci replied, “I think so, and I think you’re going to probably be seeing that as we go along, and as more people get vaccinated.”
CDC will be updating its guidance almost in real time, as more Americans get vaccinated, said Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
The CDC relaxed its guidance last month on wearing masks outdoors, but advises both vaccinated and unvaccinated people to still wear masks in indoor public spaces, such as a mall, movie theater or museum.
“We do need to start being more liberal, as we get more people vaccinated,” he added.
