White House press secretary Jen Psaki attempted on Tuesday to distance President Joe Biden’s past comments on vaccines and masks from the new, forthcoming guidance handed down by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stating that some vaccinated people should still wear masks in public.

The new guidance is expected to instruct vaccinated individuals in areas with a rolling average of more than 50 cases per 100,000 residents to wear masks in public, indoor areas. The guidance is also expected to instruct any students, teachers, or staff working in K-12 schools to wear masks at all times while on campus.
