The World Health Organization has urged fully vaccinated people to continue wearing masks indoors and practice social distancing as the delta variant surges in many parts of the world.
“People cannot feel safe just because they had the two doses. They still need to protect themselves,” said Dr. Mariangela Simao, WHO assistant director-general, during a news briefing Friday.

The Centers for Disease Control, however, told vaccinated Americans in May that they no longer needed to wear masks indoors. CDC officials pointed to the guidance Monday and gave no indication it would change, according to the New York Times.
But some areas around the country are still urging vaccinated residents to wear masks indoors.
"Until we better understand how and to who the delta variant is spreading, everyone should focus on maximum protection," the Los Angeles County of Department Public Health said Monday. The delta variant now accounts for 50% of active cases in Los Angeles, said officials Thursday, while it accounts for 1 in 5 of cases around the country.
23 states had more cases in the latest week than in the week before, an analysis of Johns Hopkins University data shows. 26 states had more deaths than a week earlier.

As of April, fewer than two out of three Latino and Black students in the U.S. had access to full-time, in-person learning, according to a report released Tuesday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that urges schools to reopen fully for all students this fall.
While 75% of white students had access to full-time, in-person instruction as the end of the school year approached, the same was true for only 63% of Black students and 59% of Latino students, according to the report. Because many families of color chose to stay remote even if in-person instruction was offered, it's likely an even smaller fraction of their children received any in-person learning this past school year.
The figures are important because reduced access to in-person learning has become increasingly associated with poorer learning outcomes and adverse mental health and behavioral development.
The latest counts underscoring racial disparities in learning modes are from a government survey of 1,200 school districts in 50 states and Washington, D.C. They're paired with a strong dose of health advice from the CDC: Schools need to intensify vaccination efforts and other measures to reduce community transmission.
