Some dioceses reevaluate Covid precautions following CDC guidance on Delta variant
These changes in CDC recommendations, and in mine to you, are the result of what we are learning about the Delta variant of the virus, which is clearly more transmissible than previous variants. There is also evidence that vaccinated people can contract and spread the Delta variant, whether they have symptoms or not. Wearing masks protects the wearer as it protects others. It is important that we live our faith in concrete action by wearing masks. It is a small sacrifice for the sake of life. – Bishop Goff, Diocese of Virginia
