The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has quietly rescinded its decree that staff and patients in hospitals, clinics, and medical care facilities should wear masks at all times.

Ian Miller, author of “Unmasked,” reported on the development at Outkick.

Their “Infection Prevention and Control” recommendations page was updated to say that they no longer recommend universal masking in healthcare settings, unless the local area is in the arbitrary “high transmission” zone.

The agency claimed on their website that “Updates were made to reflect the high levels of vaccine-and infection-induced immunity and the availability of effective treatments and prevention tools.”
