Recently, the CDC has stated that fully vaccinated individuals can gather indoors, and states such as Florida and California have begun to look at relaxing restrictions. And now, another announcement is on the way.

According to CNN, President Joe Biden is expected to announce new requirements tomorrow for wearing masks outdoors. Dr. Anthony Fauci has stated that the CDC will be “updating their guidelines of what people who are vaccinated can do and even some who are not vaccinated,” which is believed to have influenced President Biden’s potential shift in policy.

It is not yet known what the new requirements will be, and if they could affect both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. According to CNBC, separate recommendations could be given to those who are fully vaccinated. We’ll be sure to keep you posted as we learn more.

If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you are still required to wear a face covering at all times, regardless of whether you’re vaccinated, both indoors and outdoors. The only exception is if you are taking an outdoor photo while stationary and socially distanced. Of course, we’ll continue to provide you with updates if this changes, too.
