Americans who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus no longer need to wear masks outdoors if they're walking, running, hiking or biking alone, with members of their household, or if they attend small outdoor gatherings, federal health officials announced Tuesday. The CDC stopped short of telling those people that they could shed their masks altogether in outdoor settings citing the worrying risk that remains for transmitting the coronavirus, unknown vaccination levels among people in crowds and the still high-caseloads in some regions of the country.
