Masks could soon become a thing of the past all around America. There are reports that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention () is planning to drop its indoor mask guidance for many parts of America.A scientist involved with the decision told a move is to be announced Friday afternoon. Currently, the CDC recommends indoor masking in any area deemed to be of 'high' or substantial' Covid transmission. As of Friday morning, 95 percent of U.S. counties fall into either of those categories. The CDC is planning to update the metrics that determine whether a U.S. county is suffering 'high', 'substantial', 'moderate' or 'low' levels of transmission. While counties that are of 'high' and 'substantial' transmission will still be recommended to mask indoors, the number or counties that fall into these figures will fall substantially.
