The CDC’s updated guidance also notes that it is no longer recommend that fully vaccinated people wear masks outdoors in crowds. It is now also considered safe by the CDC for vaccinated people to be indoors without a mask at smaller gatherings, church, movie theaters, restaurants, and more. Note that any mask requirements set by individual establishments should still be respected though.
