CDC: Fully vaccinated individuals can gather indoors without masks

Good news from the CDC yesterday: fully vaccinated individuals can now gather indoors with other fully vaccinated individuals without masks. A person is fully vaccinated 2 weeks after receiving their final dose of a Covid-19 vaccine. Lincoln Trail District Health spokesperson Terrie Burgan says the news is great for those wanting to return to a somewhat normal world. 

Burgan still stresses that proper preventative measures, like hand washing and masking, and social distancing, should be observed in public.

The topic is one of just 5 items listed on the agenda for tonight’s meeting. The meeting is set to take place at 6 p-m.
