As recommended by the CDC, fully vaccinated individuals should wear a mask in public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high transmission where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including military installation and airport authority requirements. People who are not fully vaccinated should continue to follow CDC guidance, including continuing to wear masks in USO facilities.
Fully vaccinated individuals, and those who have tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 3 months and recovered, with no COVID-like symptoms following an exposure, do not need to quarantine but should be tested 3-5 days after exposure, and wear a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days or until they receive a negative test result.
