Fully vaccinated Americans can meet in groups indoors without masks or distancing – but must cover faces in public
FULLY vaccinated Americans can gather in groups indoors without masks, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
However, those who have had the jab should still wear a face covering in public.

Health officials in South Korea said there was no evidence that proved that the Oxford/AstraZeneca shot played a role in the deaths of the patients who had "adverse reactions" to the jab.

At the end of February, South Korean officials started to rollout their Covid vaccine programme - jabbing residents and workers at nursing homes and other at-risk individuals.
However, at the start of the rollout in South Korea, people aged over 65 were not being given the jab after health regulators in the country stated that more data on efficacy was needed on the age group.
Today the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said a panel had recommended that the jab could be given to those in older age groups.

In a statement the regulator said: "We’ve tentatively concluded that it was difficult to establish any link between their adverse reaction after being vaccinated, and their deaths."
