New CDC guidance says fully vaccinated people don’t need to wear masks indoors, but many are left with questions about how businesses and state and local governments will adjust their rules and requirements.
May 14, 2021 -- New CDC guidance says fully vaccinated people don’t need to wear masks indoors, but many businesses and some state and local governments have not relaxed their own mask rules yet.
Kroger, the largest grocery chain in the US, tells me it will continue to require customers to wear masks inside stores despite new CDC guidance. Meanwhile, grocery worker union UFCW is pissed about CDC's move. "Are [workers] now supposed to become the vaccination police?"Two unions representing grocery and retail workers said the CDC guidance needs clarification and puts their members at risk.
Lisa LaBruno, senior executive vice president for the Retail Industry Leaders Association, said the group seeks consistency from the CDC. Disney is already easing other restrictions, with temperature checks to be eliminated May 16 and physical distancing measures being reduced.Some governors want to study the guidance before deciding whether to go along with it.
