Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said that people who are vaccinated against COVID-19 don’t have to wear a mask outdoors.
“We’ve got to make that transition,” Fauci told CBS News on Thursday. “If you are vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask outside.” He did not elaborate on whether individuals should keep wearing masks indoors in public spaces.
