NEWS INTRO

-------------------------

In today's news, the CDC has released new guidelines that have allowed people with the vaccination to not wear masks. The fully vaccinated should continue to wear a mask while traveling by plane, bus or train, and the guidance doesn’t apply to certain places such as hospitals, nursing homes and prisons, the cdc said on Thursday. The agency said it was making the revisions based on the latest science indicating that being fully vaccinated cuts the risk of getting infected and spreading the virus to others. This still however doesn't mean people can just go around and remove their masks. Many states, including Pennsylvania, have not released a statement yet so, keep your masks on and go get vaccinated.
