CDC releases updated guidance regarding activities

4/27/2021
Washington - New guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says it is safe for people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to be outside without a mask, but only in small groups.

Read the latest guidance.

What You Need to Know

If you are fully vaccinated, you can start doing many things that you had stopped doing because of the pandemic.
When choosing safer activities, consider how COVID-19 is spreading in your community, the number of people participating in the activity, and the location of the activity.
Outdoor visits and activities are safer than indoor activities, and fully vaccinated people can participate in some indoor events safely, without much risk.
If you haven’t been vaccinated yet, find a vaccine.
