With COVID-19 cases on the rise in every state in the country, the CDC could soon recommend that even fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors. Mecklenburg County health officials said they are watching the guidance closely, and explained why a move like that would help.
“None of us want to close things down again, none of us,” Mecklenburg County health director Gibbie Harris said.
Harris said the only way to prevent that is to stop COVID-19 from spreading.
“Unfortunately here in Mecklenburg County, as well as the state, as well as the nation, our numbers are going up,” Harris said.
