While new US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines released Thursday say people who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can unmask indoors and outdoors, people should defer to local rules on mask-wearing, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told NBC on Friday.
