New CDC guidance & ND COVID-19 counts

Kids at summer camps can skip wearing masks outdoors, with some exceptions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted the guidance Friday. Children who aren’t fully vaccinated should still wear masks outside when they’re in crowds or in sustained close contact with others – and when they are inside. But fully vaccinated kids need not wear masks, indoors or outside. It’s the first in a wave of guidance updates that seek to incorporate recent CDC decisions to tell Americans they don’t have to be as cautious about using masks and social distancing outdoors.
The North Dakota Health Department identified 46 new cases of the virus in today’s daily report.  Three of those positive hits came out of Grand Forks County.  Grand Fork has just 36 active cases of COVID-19.  There are 471 statewide.  The state’s death toll remained at 1,512 since the start of the pandemic.
