In coronavirus news, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to announce a relaxation of its mask guidance today, allowing most people to forgo them in public indoor spaces. The new guidance will rely more heavily on the rate of hospitalizations, rather than just caseloads, to determine if masks are recommended. Most states have already lifted or significantly eased their mask mandates. Recorded cases have dropped by around two-thirds from two weeks ago, though daily deaths are still averaging close to 2,000.
