The US Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention’s new Covid-19 guidelines
for summer camps say fully vaccinated staff and campers don’t
need masks.
"Although fully vaccinated persons do not need to wear masks, camps can be
supportive of staff or campers who choose to continue to wear a mask," the
new guidelines said.
Federal,
state, local, tribal, territorial regulations, and business or workplace
policies might also still require masks.
The agency said people who are fully vaccinated do not need to undergo routine
testing, and do not need to be tested even if they are exposed to someone with
a known Covid-19 infection unless they have symptoms.
More than 3.94 million children have tested positive for Covid-19 since the
beginning of the pandemic, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics,
yet severe illness is relatively rare among children. Still, the CDC says kids
can get sick and spread it to others, so it is good to take precautions, and
it’s important to get vaccinated. For those who are fully vaccinated, these
guidelines show some real advantages.
