“#Fauci calls mask mandates ‘understandable,’ but CDC guidelines ‘still hold’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday that the return of local mask mandates due to the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 is \u201cquite understandable,\u201d but stopped short of saying the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s should reverse current guidance regarding mask-wearing for vaccinated people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe general<\/a> CDC guidelines still hold, that you do not need to wear a mask indoors if, in fact, you\u2019ve been vaccinated,\u201d the White House chief medical adviser told Fox News<\/a>\u2019 Neil Cavuto. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut what\u2019s very clear is that at the local level, in the trenches as it were,\u201d Fauci went on, \u201cyou\u2019re seeing individual situations where the level of infection is so high and the level in the community of vaccination might be low \u2026 And I think we\u2019re seeing and will see more and more of that because we certainly are seeing a surge in cases with the delta variant, which is now dominating in this country \u2026 So it\u2019s quite understandable why local authorities are now saying, \u2018Good that you\u2019re vaccinated, but in a situation where you have people indoors, particularly crowded, you should wear a mask.’\u201d<\/p>\n

On Monday, St. Louis will become the latest major metropolitan area to require masks in some places regardless of vaccination status. The St. Louis mandate app<\/a>lies to city and county residents aged five and up and requires face coverings to be worn on public transit and in indoor public settings, like move theaters and concert venues. <\/p>\n

Los Angeles and Las Vegas instituted similar mandates earlier this month, while officials in Philadelphia said this week that they \u201cstrongly recommend\u201d people wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination status. <\/p>\n

The return of mandates has led to some pushback, with Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva saying his deputies would not enforce the county\u2019s requirement. In New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio has declined to reintroduce an indoor mask mandate, saying it would distract from the city\u2019s vaccination push.<\/p>\n

De Blasio\u2019s criticism has been echoed by others who say that unvaccinated Americans would be less likely to get the shot if they are forced to keep wearing masks and adopt other precautions from the height of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think that that\u2019s really necessarily the case, because getting vaccinated is not just so that you don\u2019t have to wear a mask,\u201d Fauci said Friday. <\/p>\n

\u201cGetting vaccinated is to protect your health, that of your family and that of the community, and when I say the community, it means by not allowing the spread of infection or allowing yourself, maybe inadvertently and innocently, to be a vector or a carrier to the virus to someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

The head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases added that \u201c99.5 percent\u201d of current COVID-19 deaths are unvaccinated patients. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo getting vaccinated is not just about whether you have to wear a mask or not wear a mask,\u201d Fauci repeated. \u201cIt has to do with something much more serious than that, and that is keeping you healthy enough that you don\u2019t wind up in the hospital and you don\u2019t wind up dead. Because if you look at the statistics, they are very compelling.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the CDC, 162.4 million Americans are considered fully vaccinated against COVID, a little more than 57 percent of the eligible population.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
