CDC: It's not safe for vaccinated people to drop their masks indoors in most NC counties, including Wake

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it's safe for vaccinated people to drop their masks in only eight counties across North Carolina. All other 92 counties have "high" or "substantial" transmission of the virus, and the CDC says that residents of those areas need to wear masks indoor, regardless of vaccination status.

Over the weekend, the state added seven more counties to the list areas with high or substantial transmission of COVID-19. New data reported on Saturday shows that even though Wake County has more than 66% of residents fully vaccinated, there's still "high" transmission of the virus.
