    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday that normal household cleaners and soap are adequate to use to clean indoor surfaces and disinfectants are only necessary if someone in the home has been sick with the virus. “In most situations, regular cleaning of surfaces with soap and detergent, not necessarily disinfecting those surfaces, is enough to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spread,” said CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said at Monday’s White House coronavirus briefing. “Disinfection is only recommended in indoor settings—schools and homes—where there has been a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 within the last 24 hours,”...

    A top Biden administration medical adviser said Tuesday he did not know why COVID-19 cases continue decreasing in Texas after he and others harshly criticized the state’s governor for rolling back a mask mandate last month. “It can be confusing because you may see a lag and a delay, because often, you have to wait a few weeks before you see the effect of what you’re doing right now,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of President Joe Biden’s top COVID-19 advisers, said during an appearance on MSNBC. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s mask mandate ended on March 10. “There are a lot...

    Later this week, visitors to the Magic Kingdom will be able to go maskless — for photos, at least. Disney World said Tuesday that customers will be allowed to temporarily take off their masks while posing for outdoor photos beginning Thursday. Disney World did not comment further on what prompted the updated guidelines, which now say that “face coverings must be worn at all times except when dining or swimming,” or taking photos outside. The Orlando, Fla.-based theme park, which reopened in July, has strictly enforced mask wearing and social distancing during the pandemic. However, there have been cases where...

    Posh dinners at a cost of €490 euros per head as rest of Paris struggles under lockdown. Even as Parisians continue to struggle under lockdown, members of the French elite, potentially including government ministers, have been caught attending rulebreaking secret restaurants in the French capital. French TV channel M6 aired secretly recorded footage of clandestine dinners taking place at an “underground restaurant located in a beautiful part” of Paris. The clip shows guests at the restaurant without masks openly kissing each other and violating social distancing rules. There also appears to be no restrictions on the number of guests allowed....

    Kansas lawmakers voted Thursday along party lines to repeal the state’s mask mandate despite a bid by Democrat Gov. Laura Kelly’s attempts to extend it, becoming the latest Republican-led state to refuse to extend or reimpose requirements to wear facial coverings. After the Kansas state legislature recently passed a law permitting the Legislative Coordinating Council—a legislative standing committee—to revoke executive orders, the Council decided in a 5-2 party-line vote to overturn the mask mandate immediately after Kelly took executive action (pdf) extending facial covering protocols. “There is no worrying spike today, and no circumstances which justify the continued impositions …...

Senator Rand Paul shared video Wednesday of CDC Director Rochelle Walensky announcing that new data suggests vaccinated and recovered people do not carry Covid-19. Paul directed his comments at White House chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci, writing “paging Dr Fauci: please end the mask theater now that cdc admits evidence that the vaccinated do not carry the virus.” In a further post, Paul also shared a study examining T cell responses in people who have recovered from Covid-19. “T cell immunity after natural infection shown to include variants,” Paul, who is also a physician,...

    Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday said it was a “mistake” for him to not wear a mask at the White House during the coronavirus pandemic. Christie, who spent a week in the hospital fighting COVID-19, told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that he felt “safe” not wearing one at the White House, but he knows he was “wrong.” He urged Americans to get the vaccine to reduce the risk of severe effects.

    MADISON, WI - Wisconsin's Supreme Court is striking down Gov. Tony Evers' statewide face mask mandate. Continuing Coverage: Coronavirus in Wisconsin The 4-3 ruling was issued in a 78-page decision Wednesday morning. Republican lawmakers filed suit in October on the mandate. They said the governor did not have the authority to extend the state's public health emergency beyond 60 days without approval from the legislature. Wisconsin's current mask mandate is set to expire Monday after Evers signed a new emergency order Feb. 4. That came hours after the Republican-controlled Assembly voted to repeal a previous order that included a statewide...

    A pregnant Catholic woman said she was escorted from the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Dallas, Texas, for not wearing a mask and was later issued a trespass warning. “I mean, you’re going to arrest a 28-year-old nursing mom who’s already socially distanced? I mean it proves that it’s not really about the health. It’s just about control,” Deirdre Hairston told Church Militant. According to video footage of the incident, Hairston appeared to be holding a crying baby. “Am I getting arrested?” Hairston asks the officer in the video. “No, not right now. But if you don’t listen you will...

    President Biden on Monday urged state and local officials to reconsider lifting their coronavirus restrictions and to reinstate mask mandates that have lapsed as the U.S. faces an increase in cases. "I'm reiterating my call for every governor, mayor and local leader to maintain and reinstate the mask mandate," Biden said at an event intended to highlight the rapid increase in vaccine eligibility. "Please, this is not politics. Reinstate the mandate if you let it down. Asked later if some states should pause reopening efforts, Biden said "yes."

    Gov. Eric Holcomb announced Indiana’s mask mandate will end April 6, a decision that comes after mounting pressure from within his own Republican party. Holcomb will join the leaders of six other states who have lifted mask mandates, a move that goes against the advice of the Centers for Disease Control, which still recommends masks to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Alabama and Utah are set to lift their mask mandates in April as well. Masks still will be recommended, the governor said in his news address on Tuesday. Face coverings will remain mandatory in all state buildings and...

    PHOENIX - Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has announced major rollbacks in COVID-19 restrictions for the state after officials announced that three million residents have been vaccinated on March 25. The announcement transitions the current guidance for business from requirements to recommendations, and businesses will have the "ability to continue requiring masks and social distancing." His order still allows businesses to enforce mask mandates if they want, but cities, towns and counties must lift theirs.

    British former Supreme Court judge Lord Sumption has warned that “social controls” brought about by the coronavirus pandemic may be kept in place by governments for up to a decade. “It’s politically unrealistic to expect the Government to backtrack now,” commented Sumption, who has been highly critical of the government’s ‘totalitarian’ lockdown policies. The judge compared the reaction to rationing after the Second World War, which went on for nine years, adding that this time “I think it may be even longer.” “An interesting parallel is the continuation of wartime food rationing after the last war. People were in favour...

    fter two weeks of lifting its mask mandate and allowing businesses to open at full capacity, Texas is not seeing a surge of new COVID-19 cases. Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, issued an executive order (pdf) that went into effect on March 10 to loosen COVID-19 restrictions. Although the government’s statewide mask mandate was lifted, individual businesses were still able to “limit capacity” or impose mask mandates at their own choosing. But in Austin and Travis County, residents 10 years or older still have to wear a mask outside their home after a district judge refused to grant Attorney General...

    March 25 (UPI) -- Wearing masks in public and practicing social distancing may be part of the "new normal" in the United States for a while, even as the percentage of those vaccinated against COVID-19 increases, experts from Johns Hopkins University said Thursday. Although daily new case totals across the country have "plateaued" at about 50,000, the country will need to see a "continued decline in the number of [infections], hospitalizations and deaths" before restrictions can be relaxed, according to Keri Althoff, an associate professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. In addition,...

Masks orders will remain in place for schools and gatherings of more than 50 people. Businesses can also choose to require them. Gov. Spencer Cox signed the measure on Wednesday, the same day that vaccinations opened to all people aged 16 and older.

Phil Murphy said during his latest COVID-19 briefing in Trenton. The origin of the “maskless shopping” protest is unclear, but officials said they were aware of the event being organized by the...
