Disease and Prevention Control Centers (CDC) make numerous direction changes lately, namely the surrounding masks. Just two weeks ago, on May 13, the Agency suggested that people vaccinated fully vaccinatedNo need to wear masks inside or outside in most cases. The movement promoted governors from coast to coast to coastLifting mask mandates, many of whom come into effect on the weekend of the commemorative day, put a kick in the summer of reduced restrictions. But at that time, the CDC was also standing by another controversial mask directive for non-vaccinated people - now on May 28, the agency discreetly won this guidance at the beginning of the holiday weekend.

The same day, director CDCRochelle Walensky, MD, announced that the agency had updated its Covid summer tips, allowingFully vaccinated staff and campers 12 and over Go without mask outside. Then, on May 28, the CDC released these restrictions still for campers and fully vaccinated and unvaccinated employees. "For camps where everyone is fully vaccinated before the start of the camp, it is prudent to return to full capacity, without masking and without physical distance," the new guidelines explain.

The CDC also affirms that campers and unvaccinated camp staff can especially be without masks outside. "In general, people do not need to wear masks outside," said the agency. "However, particularly in substantial transmission areas with high transmission, people who are not fully vaccinated are encouraged to wear a mask in congested outdoor contexts or during activities that involve narrow contacts supported with other people who are not entirely vaccinated. "

For camps with non-vaccinated staff or campers, the CDC still indicates physical distancing, maintaining pods, encourage hand washing and avoiding a footprint and low ventilation inside is the key.

Tom RosenbergPresident and Chief Executive Officer of the American Camp Association, saidThe New York Timesthat while theNew guidelines come in the number of time (With many camps starting their seasons next week), he also stressed that most campers are vaccinated. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has onlyApproved Covid vaccine for children aged 12 and over For the moment and the vaccine against Pfizer, is the only authorized for those 12 to 15 years.

"The reality is that the majority of the camps are intended for children aged six to 17, so much of the children attending the camp, by virtue of their age alone, will not be vaccinated," said RosenbergThe temperature. "The camps are therefore preparing to manage another COVID summer with a superimposed attenuation strategy, such as last year."
