The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revised its mask-wearing guidelines. The CDC is now recommending that fully vaccinated people put their masks back on indoors as the highly transmissible Delta variant is spreading quickly in the US.
The CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky announced the same in a press briefing on Tuesday. “In recent days I have seen new scientific data from recent outbreak investigations showing that the Delta variant behaves uniquely differently from past strains of the virus that cause Covid-19,” she said.
Though the vaccinated people are less likely to transmit, unpublished data shows that vaccinated people infected with Delta can have as much virus as the unvaccinated have.
The Delta variant spreads faster and far more easily than earlier variants and it can make vaccinated people sick, though they might be asymptomatic or with mild symptoms. The vaccinated people can still contract the virus but their chance of hospitalization is very low.
