NEW YORK — Kids at summer camps can skip wearing masks outdoors, with some exceptions, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The federal agency posted the guidance Friday.
Children who aren’t fully vaccinated should still wear masks outside when they’re in crowds or in sustained close contact with others, and when they are inside.
But fully vaccinated kids need not wear masks, indoors or outside.
It’s the first in a wave of guidance updates that seek to incorporate recent CDC decisions to tell Americans they don’t have to be as cautious about using masks and social distancing outdoors.
