Most notably, the CDC is expected to announce that everyone in K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status, should wear a mask.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn May, the CDC announced that vaccinated individuals were not required to wear masks indoors or outdoors, or physically distance, while maintaining that unvaccinated individuals should continue to wear masks and socially distance,\u201d Fox News noted.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday\u2019s announcement is expected to revise those recommendations, at least in part. At a press conference scheduled for 3 pm EST, the CDC\u2019s Dr. Rochelle Walensky is expected to suggest that vaccinated individuals wear masks indoors in certain areas of the country experiencing significant outbreaks of the COVID-19 Delta variant and that individuals who live with immunocompromised people and children under the age of 12 who cannot be vaccinated against the virus also mask up when in an indoor public location.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople in areas with high or substantial Covid-19 transmission should resume wearing masks, the CDC is expected to say, according to sources familiar with the announcement,\u201d CNN noted Tuesday. \u201cNearly two-thirds of US counties have high or substantial transmission of Covid-19, according to CDC data;46% of counties have high transmission and 17% have substantial transmission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most notably, the CDC is also expected to follow recommendations made by the nation\u2019s largest teachers unions \u2014 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aft.org\/press-release\/afts-weingarten-sends-letter-mask-guidance-education-department-cdc\">American Federation of Teachers<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nea.org\/professional-excellence\/student-engagement\/tools-tips\/ensuring-safe-and-just-schools-masking\">National Education Association<\/a> \u2014 and suggest that&nbsp;\u201ceveryone in K-12 schools wear a mask, regardless of their vaccination status,\u201d per CNN.<\/p>\n<p>AFT president Randi Weingarten, who reportedly had a direct influence on CDC policy regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/teachers-union-randi-weingarten-biden-cdc-language\">a return to classrooms for in-person instruction<\/a>, according to Fox News, has continued \u201cto push for face masks to be worn in schools,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/nations-largest-teachers-union-will-still-push-masks-schools-despite-new-cdc-guidance-1591542\">per Newsweek<\/a>, even though nearly 90% of teachers who belong to the AFT are vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC\u2019s mask guidance is designed to inform state and local governments, though Walensky did say that individuals \u201cneed to be wearing a mask to protect yourself and others around you\u201d from the Delta variant at a CDC press conference held last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need more people to get vaccinated to stop this pandemic,\u201d Walensky said. At the time, she also \u201cwarned that if individuals are in an area that has a high case rate and low rate of vaccination, \u2018you should certainly be wearing a mask.&#8217;\u201d according to Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are unvaccinated, if you are vaccinated, you get exceptional protection from the vaccines, but you have the opportunity to make the personal choice to add extra layers of protection if you so choose,\u201d Walensky said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are not vaccinated, please take the delta very seriously. This virus has no incentive to let up and it remains in search of the next vulnerable person to infect,\u201d she continued. \u201cPlease consider getting vaccinated and take precautions until you do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So far, around 188 million Americans have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
