#Why AOC plans to keep wearing masks indoors despite CDC guidelines

Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she plans to keep her mask on.

“If you want to keep wearing your mask then do it,” AOC told her followers in an Instagram story early Saturday. “Personally I’m going to keep wearing my mask in shared indoor public spaces like elevators, subway, grocery store, etc.”

“NYC got hit so hard that I think some of us are going to take time adjusting as we feel comfortable,” she added.

“Mask wearing is also something I’ll probably continue doing overall from time to time if I feel like I might be coming down with something and don’t want to spread it.”

New CDC guidelines now say fully vaccinated people can go maskless indoors, and outside.

“If you are fully vaccinated, you can start doing the things that you had stopped doing because of the pandemic,” said CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky in a briefing.

The agency, however, continues to urge mask wearing for certain crowded indoor spaces, such as hospitals, homeless shelters and prisons, as well as on trains, planes and buses.
