Biden will announce new CDC mask guidance Tuesday, sources say....
President Joe Biden is expected to announce Tuesday that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its guidance forwearing masks outdoors, three people familiar with the expected announcement said.
Ahead of his first address to Congress on Wednesday, the President will give remarks on the state of the pandemic on Tuesday. The expected announcement said Biden will announce new CDC guidance on whether vaccinated people need to wear masks outdoors, though the final language of the expected announcement is still unclear.
One of Biden's top coronavirus advisers, Dr. Anthony Fauci, strongly hinted that the guidance would be updated this week.

Re: Biden will announce new CDC mask guidance Tuesday, sources say....
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday issued new guidance on outdoor mask use for fully vaccinated Americans.If you're fully vaccinated, the CDC says you can now take your mask off at small outdoor gatherings, or when dining outside with friends from multiple households.
The CDC is telling un-vaccinated people that they still need to wear a mask at such gatherings.
"Generally, for vaccinated people, outdoor activities without a mask are safe.
However, we continue to recommend masking in crowded outdoor settings and venues, such as packed stadiums and concerts where there is decreased ability to maintain physical distance and where many un-vaccinated people may also be present," Walensky said. "We will continue to recommend this until widespread vaccination is achieved."
