As of mid-May, the CDC has said that fully vaccinated people no longer have to wear a mask indoors in most settings, like grocery stores. According to the guidelines, those who are unvaccinated are supposed to continue wearing a mask.
A recent survey, however, shows that as many as 1 in 4 unvaccinated people may go without a mask in settings where they are supposed to according to the CDC. Just over 50% of Americans are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.
About 1 in 5, or 21%, reported that they had not received a COVID-19 vaccine and do not plan to do so. In addition, more than one-quarter (26%) of that 21%, equivalent to about 5% of the total set of respondents, also said that they plan to not wear a mask in indoor spaces like stores and restaurants.
1 in 4 unvaccinated people may not comply with CDC guidelines to wear masks indoors, survey suggests
In theory, and according to the CDC those who are vaccinated against the coronavirus shouldn’t be worried about catching the coronavirus from unvaccinated people. Despite this, many vaccinated people still plan to continue wearing a mask in indoor public settings.
