CDC rolls back on mask-wearing guidelines for vaccinated people indoors

Fully vaccinated adults should continue to wear face masks when inside public places in areas where there are high numbers of coronavirus infections, the CDC has said as the country battles a rise in the Delta variant.

US Centres for Disease Control Director Dr Rochelle Walensky made the comments as cases of the virus continue to rise across the country.

Dr Walensky said that the best way to protect yourself from Covid-19 was to get one of the vaccines on offer to people.
