MSNBC's Morning Joe News Anchors often turn to medical correspondent Dr. Vin Gupta for advice regarding medical issues confronting Americans (and the world).  During the COVID-19 crisis, the situation has been no different.  Clarification can weaken confusing sides, which is a breath of fresh air during difficult times.  


With that in mind, COVID-19 vaccinations are increasing, and Americans are hitting the streets again.  What are suitable interpretations regarding the CDC recommendations of mask-wearing along with social distancing when out in public?  Dr. Gupta gives us interpretations in the video below:



Erroring on the side of caution (i.e., wearing a mask) is good practice when surrounded by people nearby.  Vaccination passports have been suggested on a larger (global) scale, but ethical issues remain.  Until further guidance is given by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the safe practice would be to wear a mask when the distance is less than 5 feet between people in public.
