How long before vaccinated people can safely ditch the mask indoors? Fauci says he’s not sure

Jessica Woods

Dr. Anthony Fauci this week in an interview with CNN said he’s not sure when fully vaccinated Americans can safely get rid of their face masks while indoors.

“How long do you think it will be until it’s safe for vaccinated people to once again be indoors without a mask?” Fauci was asked.

“You know, it’s always tough to predict that,” he said. “I think if we continue to go down in the cases that we’re seeing right now and more and more people get vaccinated as the dynamics of the outbreak namely the amount of virus circulating in the community goes down, I hope will be able to pull back on some of those restrictions to get closer to what we really feel is normal in the community. I hope that’s soon but I can’t give a prediction of a date on that.”
