Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention relaxed outdoor mask guidelines, and the CDC has released new instructions for the return to cruising. Now, another update regarding the CDC’s mask guidance is reportedly on the way.

According to AP News, a source has indicated that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will soon be easing indoor mask-wearing guidance for those who are fully vaccinated, allowing the to “safely stop wearing masks inside in most places.” More news about this updated guidance is reportedly set to be released today, Thursday May 13th.

AP News reports that the new guidance will still call for masks to be worn in crowded indoor settings “like buses, planes, hospitals, prisons and homeless shelters.” But, the CDC “could ease restrictions for reopening workplaces and schools.”

Reportedly, the CDC’s updated guidance will also “no longer recommend that fully vaccinated people wear masks outdoors in crowds.” Keep in mind that the CDC considers individuals to be “fully vaccinated” 2 weeks after their last required COVID-19 vaccination dose.

Note that Disney World still requires all guests, including those who are fully vaccinated, to wear masks in the parks except when they are specifically allowed to be removed such as when actively eating and drinking while socially distanced and stationary, while swimming, temporarily while taking an outdoor photo, or while at a Mask-Free Relaxation Station.

We’ll continue to look for more updates and let you know what we find.
