Fauci acknowledges outdoor COVID-19 transmission 'low,' expects updated mask guidance

Dr. Anthony Fauci believes the Centers for Disease Control will soon provide updated COVID-19 guidance on using face masks in outdoor settings, calling it "common sense" to do so.

Face masks have taken an increasingly central role in debate lately as many question the continued and widespread use of masks even as vaccinations continue to soar nationwide. A Georgia mother went viral this week after she sounded off on her local school board continuing its mask mandate through next year.

More than 5 million Americans have skipped second COVID-19 vaccine dose

Nearly 8 percent of Americans — or more than 5 million people — have failed to get their crucial second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, according to federal health statistics.

While more than half of all US adults have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, fewer than 30 percent have been fully vaccinated, CDC figures show. Part of that gap stems from the required three- to four-week wait time between doses.
