People who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can safely gather indoors with other fully vaccinated people — and some unvaccinated people — without wearing masks or social distancing, according to new guidance released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday. The CDC said everyone should still refrain from traveling, even if they're vaccinated. Travel industry groups and labor unions on Monday urged the Biden administration to issue guidelines for Covid-19 vaccine passports to create a uniform system that will help customers feel comfortable with booking trips again.
