Biden wears face mask outside after new CDC guidance for vaccinated people

President Joe Biden issued a muddled message on mask-wearing shortly after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revised its recommendations, saying vaccinated people no longer need to don face coverings outside.

Biden walked up to a lectern set up on the White House’s North Lawn to provide an update on his administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic wearing a mask and aviator sunglasses. An NBC News reporter asked the president why he had covered his face since he was vaccinated and outdoors.
