WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is weighing new COVID-19 guidance as cases decline, the agency’s chief said on Wednesday, adding that officials realize people want a break from masks but that they are still key in some circumstances.
Hospital capacity will also be a key metric the agency weighs in making any changes, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told reporters at a news briefing.
