The AAMC has updated its consensus guidance on face coverings to align with new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The latest CDC guidance suggests that, while the nation is in a period of transition, vaccinated individuals can now refrain from wearing masks in most outdoor settings unless in crowded places such as concerts, sporting events, and other large gatherings where not everyone may be vaccinated. Fully vaccinated individuals can also safely visit indoors with other fully vaccinated people. Prior AAMC guidance for unvaccinated individuals remains unchanged - except that even non-vaccinated people can exercise outdoors without a mask if alone or with members of the same household. They may also attend small outdoor gatherings without a mask if others are vaccinated.
