Face masks may be returning as some communities are experiencing a rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned Thursday that the recent spike of COVID cases could be high enough to warrant face masks in indoor settings to prevent the spread of the virus.
According to a weekly report from the agency, several communities are now rated “high” for COVID levels, including New York City and Los Angeles.
Earlier this month, New York City health officials sent out a notice urging all schools to return to having students wear face masks, even if vaccinated. And Los Angeles officials said they planned to do the same if COVID cases continue to rise.
