And for this the fully vaccinated can resume activities without wearing masks or respecting the distancing unless required by federal, state, local, tribal or workplace laws ". This is confirmed by the CDCs that have released a "color" guide on the levels of risk relating to the use or not of anti-contagion safety devices.
