People who have been fully vaccinated against the virus that causes COVID-19 are no longer being advised to wear masks outdoors.

People who have gotten two Moderna or Pfizer shots, or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, can conduct a range of activities outside without wearing a mask, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Tuesday.
