نص المقال : Most Americans are safe going without a mask in indoor settings, including in schools, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. The highly anticipated change to the agency’s mask guidance leans less heavily on the number of Covid-19 cases as a key measure, instead giving more weight to hospitalizations and local hospital capacity. Full coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic The new guidance puts more than half of the nation’s counties at low or medium risk for Covid, meaning masks are no longer necessary there. Those counties account for roughly 70 percent of people in the country. It’s a dramatic shift from the previous guidance, which recommended masks in counties with substantial or high transmission, a category that covered the vast majority of the country. The recommendations apply to everyone, not just those who are vaccinated or have received a booster shot. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said at a briefing Friday that the change reflects that the overall risk of severe disease from Covid is lower because of widespread immunity provided by vaccines or prior infection, improvements in testing, and accessibility to new treatments. “We’re in a stronger place today as a nation with more tools to protect ourselves,” she said. Not the end of the pandemic . In places with concentration of people with weak immune defenses, the mask is recommended and hygienic measures must be respected. New Covid variants could arise from next autumn. The pollution that causes climate change makes human immune defenses weaker and encourages infections and viruses. But the pollution is due to economic interests that certainly do not consider the protection of human lives. Many wars have the same logic. We hope that the war between Russia and Ukraine can wisely end
