The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) late on Thursday said some 98 per cent of the US population live in locations where Covid-19 levels are low enough that people do not need to wear masks indoors.
The CDC on February 25 dramatically eased its Covid-19 guidelines for when Americans should wear masks indoors, saying they could drop them in counties experiencing what it described as low or medium Covid-19 levels.
Last month, the CDC initially said 70 per cent of counties covering 72 per cent of Americans could drop masks. The latest update says 98 per cent of Americans who live in 94 per cent of counties can ditch masks.
Meanwhile, mainland China reported over 1,000 new local Covid-19 infections on Friday, the highest daily count since Beijing contained its first national outbreak in early 2020, driven by a jump in asymptomatic infections amid the spread of the Omicron variant.
The size of the latest outbreak is much smaller than many others outside mainland China. China detected 703 domestically transmitted asymptomatic infections for Thursday, according to data from the health authority on Friday, up from 435 a day earlier.
That marks a sharp increase from a daily average of about 10 such cases in the first two months this year, Reuters calculations showed.
Another 397 local symptomatic cases, which China classifies separately from symptomless infections, were reported for March10, the National Health Commission said.
