The CDC just said fully vaccinated people don’t have to wear masks?

How will state mask mandates be enforced if they follow this new guidance? Will proof of vaccination be required?

You have to add the rest.

[quote]If you’ve been fully vaccinated:

You can gather indoors with fully vaccinated people without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart.
You can gather indoors with unvaccinated people of any age from one other household (for example, visiting with relatives who all live together) without masks or staying 6 feet apart, unless any of those people or anyone they live with has an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
You can gather or conduct activities outdoors without wearing a mask [u][b]except in certain crowded settings and venues[/b][/u].

If you’ve been around someone who has COVID-19, you do not need to stay away from others or get tested unless you have symptoms.
However, if you live in a group setting (like a correctional or detention facility or group home) and are around someone who has COVID-19, you should still get tested, even if you don’t have symptoms.

[b][u]For now, if you’ve been fully vaccinated:

You should still protect yourself and others in many situations by wearing a mask that fits snugly against the sides of your face and doesn’t have gaps[/u][/b]. Take this precaution whenever you are:
In indoor public settings
Gathering indoors with unvaccinated people (including children) from more than one other household
Visiting indoors with an unvaccinated person who is at increased risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 or who lives with a person at increased risk
You should still avoid indoor large gatherings.

[b]You will still need to follow guidance at your workplace.[/b][/quote]
