During a media telebriefing on Tuesday, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky announced new recommendations for fully vaccinated people in high transmission areas to wear face masks indoors.<\/p>\n<p>This marked an about face from just two months ago in May, when they said fully vaccinated individuals could forgo mask wearing in almost all settings. During the meeting, Walensky cited the Delta variant sweeping through areas with low vaccination rates as the reason for this change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInformation on the Delta variant from several states and other countries indicates that in rare occasions, some vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant after vaccination may be contagious and spread the virus to others,\u201d she stated. \u201cThis new science is worrisome and unfortunately warrants and update to our recommendation.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DeltaVariant?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DeltaVariant<\/a> surging in U.S. New data show Delta much more contagious than previous versions of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/COVID19?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#COVID19<\/a>.

However, Walensky said all children should return to in person learning as long as CDC guidelines were followed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCDC recommends that everyone in K-12 schools wear a mask indoors including teachers, students, staff and visitors regardless of vaccination status,\u201d she explained. \u201c\u2026Children should return to full-time in-person learning in the fall with proper prevention strategies in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comes a week after mask requirements were reinstated in Los Angeles County, where people had mixed reactions. While some residents have agreed on continuing to wear a mask after being vaccinated, others were not as inclined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo I don\u2019t want to do that, not at all,\u201d one Los Angeles County resident explained. \u201cI\u2019ve got the vaccine.
