Face coverings are now optional for Pres. Biden's State of the Union address as Congress lifts House floor mask requirement.
President Joe Biden waves as he walks with first lady Jill Biden to board Maine One at the White House in Washington, Friday, Feb. 25, 2022, en route to Wilmington, Del.
The nation's capital is now in an area considered low risk under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's new metrics, which place less of a focus on positive test results and more on what’s happening in community hospitals. The new system greatly changes the look of the CDC’s risk map and puts more than 70% of the U.S. population in counties where theis posing a low or medium threat to hospitals. Healthy people in those risk areas can stop wearing masks indoors, the agency said.
The relaxed guidance comes as Biden aims to use his remarks to highlight the progress against COVID-19 made over the last year, including vaccinations and therapeutics, and guide the country into a “new phase” of the virus response that is not driven by emergency measures and looks more like life pre-pandemic.
