harry are describing here is just the absolute opposite of that. katie, thank you. it is good to see you. i will talk to you soon. i really appreciate it. >> thank you. if you know someone who needs help this is an opportunity the real estate mind that you the national suicide prevention lifeline is there. 800-273-8255. thank you for joining us. i'm kate bolduan. john king picks up from here. hello to our viewers in the united states and around the world. welcome to inside politics. i'm john king in washington. thank you for sharing a very busy monday with us. president biden sits one step away now from a mammoth victory, and evidence he says that government can still work. the house votes tomorrow on the senate version of the biden covid rescue plan. stimulus checks. guaranteed income if you have children, and a $300 weekly jobless benefit are all part of the final package that expands

the federal safety net and will cost nearly $2 trillion. plus the new york governor digs in. two former aides say andrew cuomo harassed them. the top two democrats in new york's legislature say he should quit. but the governor says no. >> legislators who suggest that i resign because of accusations that are made against me, the -- i was elected by the people of the state. i wasn't elected by politicians. i am not going to resign because of allegations. no. there is no way i resign. >> up first, though, major new information in the covid pandemic fight. just last hour the cdc offering a public health playbook for americans who have received their covid vaccine. a list u might say, of what they can do safely and what they can't. >> we would like to give the opportunity for vaccinated grandparents to visit their children and grandchildren who are healthy and who are a local.

but our travel guidance currently has been unchanged. >> dr. wallenski there laying out the guidelines and trying to strike a balance because of what i am about to show you. the case count getting better but -- 16 states holding steady. 30 states trending down. that's the green. 30 states trending down. fewer covid infections right now compared to last week. four states trending up. more new covid infections. essentially a plateau. more states coming down but from a high point this is what it looks like. well down. the seven day moving average, that's the red line, well down. sunday below 50,000. 40,340 new infiction fixes reported but all the experts on team biden and in the public health sphere say look at that. you have this flat line plateau. numbers often go down on

weekend. hope it continues to go down. but the plateau has been above 50,000 cases over a week now. that's what concerns the cdc and other public health expertsan team biden. if you lock at the vaccine map here the percent of americans fully vaccinated by state. seven states reporting at least 10%. north dakota at 10%. alaska at 14%. other states trying to play catch up as that plays out. 18% of americans partially vaccinated, just shy of 10% fully vaccinated. the numbers are changing every day. he have day, because the administration has done, in recent days a good job ramping things own. saturday 2.4 million shots in arms. saturday,er inially 3 million shots in arms. the average right now 2.2 million. the administration trying to bring this up. that's why this guidance is so important. as more and more americans get their vaccines look at this, you now have almost 31 million americans fully vaccinated.

there have been 29 million confirmed cases over the last year. with that many americans fully vaccinated the cdc guidelines are essential, saying you can get together with your friends if they have been vaccinated, too. but still strike a balance. >> our government must balance the risk of people who have been fully vaccinated the risks to those who have not yet received a vaccine and the impact on the larger community transmission of covid-19 with when we all recognize to be the i don't have all benefits of resuming everyday activities and getting back to something -- to some of the things we love in life. >> let's bring in our doctor medical correspondent elizabeth cohen to help us walk through the new guidelines. long awaited, what do they tell news let's look at what they say, john. this is addressed to people who are fully vaccinated. first let's define that. you are fully vaccinated if you are two weeks out after your first -- after your shot with

johnson & johnson, which is one shot, or two weeks out after your second dose of moderna and pfizer. so from there on out, you are considered fully vaccinated. so here's what the cdc has to say. if you are fully vaccinated, and you are indoors, there is no need for masks or social distancing if everyone there is fully vaccinated. so in other words, you can be in a room with people who are fully vaccinated and not wear masks or do social distancing. but if some of those people are unvaccinated they have to be from one household and at low risk for severe covid-19. so let's take a look at what else the cdc has to say. they say there is no need to test or quarantine if you have been fully vaccinated and you are exposed to covid-19 as long as you are asymptomatic. also, if you are fully vaccinated you should wear masks and keep distance in public and avoid medium and large-sized gatherings. john, this is a lot of information. bem sort of bottom line it here.

if you are fully vaccinated, and let's say your mother is, or our grandmother or some other relative who you have been wanting to see for the past year you can go and hug them because you are both fully vaccinated. now, if the other party is unvaccinated -- you are vaccinated but other people are unvaccinated, then there are some ground rules that need to be followed. this isn't everything. it isn't saying go back to 2019 but this is a huge step forward. you can if you are fully vaccinated and other people are fully vaccinated, you can be with each other. you don't need to wear a mask. you don't need to do social distancing. john? >> for that 9%. number grows by the day. 9.4% and counting. a few steps back toward relative normalcy. elizabeth cohen grateful for the reporting. dr. you shay black stock joins us. the ceo and founder of advancing health equity. dr. black stock it is great to see you again.

let's start with what the cdc laid out. dr. wall enski says it is a balance. as dr. cohen just noted it is a chance to sit around with close friends, a chance to hug your grandchildren perhaps. what strikes you most about them? >> i think the early guidelines -- remember, they are early because we are still waiting for more conclusive evidence whether or not vaccines help with transmission of infection but they are incredibly encouraging. i have to admit i felt emotional when i saw they were published. i think especially as you mentioned for older individual who are looking to socialize and get back together with their family these guidelines are incredibly meaningful. there are a few caveats, as dr. wallenski mentioned. they are still discouraging non-essential travel. we have to think about those grandparents who are not local. but they are vaccinated and whether or not families will be following these guidelines.

>> all right. and as we continue this, it adds to the question -- you hear the optimism. people who have their vaccines at least have a road map where to go. you see the case count plateauing but down significantly from the beginning of the year. more vaccines getting out there which leads to optimism. then those are saying wait a minute because they have watched europe's experience with the variants. dr. michael oweser the home says yes we are in a better place now but he's worried. >> four weeks ago the b.1.1.7 rather yapt made up 1 to 4% of the viruses we were seeing across country. today it is up to 30 to 40%. in europe, when you hit the auto% mark cases surge. we have to keep america as safe as we can from this virus by not letting up on any of the public health measures we have taken and we need to get people vaccinated as quickly as we can. >> do you share the concern that the variants pose the risk of a

fourth wave? >> i toltally agree. i think we are at another critical time in this pandemic. even though cases plateaued, they are still quite high. then we have the variants on the loose and we only have about 10% of the population that is fully vaccinated. i think that lifting restrictions as has been done in texas and mississippi at a time like this is quite sensitive and we really need to think about keeping those restrictions in place until we have case counts coming down for a significant amount of time and until we have a significant amount of the population that's basketball fully vaccinated. >> you mentioned vaccinations. you see the numbers from the weekend. nearly 3 million on saturday, 2.4 million i think was the number on sunday. so the administration is doing a better job. now that it has a third vaccine, it helps, too. getting it. what is frustrating is this equity question. dr. nunez smith at the white house briefing last hour says

yes we are doing a better job but again voiced frustration with the quality of the reporting. listen. ? we only have race ethnicity data for 53% of those who received their first dose of a covid-19 vaccine this. varies widely among the states. as you can see on the next slide. and we are not getting from individuals from providers and from states the critical information about who has access to these three life saving vaccines that need to be equitably distributed across our country. >> we have talked about this issue for some time. we now have in the new administration -- she's the equity coordinator as part of the covid task force. they have made it a priority. why is it -- let me ask it this way. where is the breakdown? who is not doing their job and sending this the right data so the white house knows and the people know? >> there is a cdc reporting form that asks for rey racial and demographic data among many different criteria that states

must submit and should be reporting. i think there is an education component to this, we need health care professionals in health care facilities that are vaccinating people to understand the importance of recording racial and ethnic and economic data. if we don't have that data we can't target outreach efforts and the inequities we have seen throughout the pandemic may be worsened or exasser bait. collecting this information is crucial. we need to be able the communicate that to the states, to their public health departments as well as public health officials and facilities that are vaccinating the public. >> i hope just your being here helps communicate that message to a degree. dr. black stock grateful as always for your important insights. up next for us president biden is on the verge of a giant win. americans struggling in the covid economy are close to getting new help. you only pay for what you need?

tomorrow, one final hurdle for the new president's covid rescue package. the biden $1.9 trillion plan heads back to the house of a a few senate changes progressives don't like. the alterations include lowering the number of americans who will get checks in the mail. chopping a weekly unemployment benefit by 100s. and notably, stripping out the minimum wage hike entirely. but the package represents a dramatic expansion of a federal safety net and a key house representative this morning says the good far outweighs the bad. >> it is a good bill. it gets checks into the hands of the american people. the most important part of it is it is going to give every working class and middle class family a $3,000 check, for every child at that they have. that is an extraordinary policy that progressives have been pushing for decades. there is a disappointment that the minimum wage up crease

wasn't in there. it should be in there. we will continue to fight. but everyall it is a god strong bill. >> with us, cnn's phil mattingly and julie. julie, let me start with you. we focus on the fights, the skirmishes, there were several within the democratic party on this one. however when you look at the senate bill that the house will vote on tomorrow and then send to the president this week it is a dramatic expansion of the government role across the board not just in the covid relief and the stimulus relief. but the federal safety net gets wider here. it is a giant liberal progressive achievement. >> it absolutely is. it has been years since we have seen this kind of move by congress by the federal government to expand the social safety net in so many different areas. it is not just the direct checks that we are seeing going to millions of americans through this package. it is a child care tax credit. we haven't seen something like

this, essentially paying people directly to help with their child care. we also have seen the sort of stealthy expansion, federal subsidies for obamacare as part this bill. and i think as americans learn more about it they are going the see more and more of these provisions. democrats are arguing this is what government can do if you actually pull the levers of it. republicans will argue this is overreach, democrats trying to jam in some of the things they have been seeking for a long time under the guise of a pandemic relief bill. that's the politics of it. but, yeah, a lot of americans are going to see more money come into their pockets in the coming months. >> it is interesting, phil, you cover the white house now, you spend a lot of time on capitol hill. and you heard the congressman there, the liberals don't want to negotiate with themselves during the process so they were complaining about some changes but this the end they are getting a big sweeping bill with many of their priorities. it tightened the check a. $300

weekly jobless benefits instead of $400. one of the ways to win progressive votes that 10-200 of those tax benefits will be tax free if you make $150,000 or less during the year. the white house thinks there will be a signing sar shown in as soon as tuesday. it is on track. but they are not taking anything for granted. bernie sanders came out and said this was one of the biggest progressive wins in recent memory. they feel good where they are. you need to move from the micro to the macro. on the micro level obviously progressives were frustrated about some of the changes that were made to ensure joe mamplen the west virginia moderate democrat would vote for this. i followed the creation of this to now. a couple of pieces stick out to

me. joe biden proposed six days before he took office a $1.9 trillion plan with several of these key components. joe biden in 24 to 36 hours is going to sign into law a $1.9 trillion plan with several crucial components that i don't think anybody -- you covered the legislative process a long time. the white house those something on the table and it goes through virtually unchanged -- it doesn't happen very often. i think the broader picture here is a recognition of how much this will do and how tangible these benefits are to americans. this isn't something you figure out six months down the line or next april. these will show up in the mail. direct checks, child tax credits. all the different ways that people are going to see this in their hands. that's a departure from the way a lot of the aid has been delivered this the last decade. >> julie, thises a piece offet. we talked about the public

health challenge and the vaccine ramp up and what happens there, the cdc guidelines. this is the economic piece if you will, of the president's quid response here. looking at the abc news ipsos poll 68% approve of joe biden's handling of the covid-19 pandemic. that is a big number the start your presidency. we are at day 48 today. thursday night the white house says the president will deliver a primetime address essentially marking one year of covid lockdown. at the moment he's in a position of strength. but what is the challenge as you go forward? >> absolutely. he is starting at a position of strength. we have seen vaccine rollout ramping up. we are seeing the numbers of cases starting to come down. now we are seeing passage this bill. i think there are a couple of challenge for biden going forward. some will be on his agenda after he gets through this crucial moment. everything he wants to do next, a big infrastructure package, work on immigration, climate change that all get harder in part because of the rules of the

senate. we will be talking a lot about the filibuster coming down in the next couple of weeks here. everything gets harder because of these narrow margins that he has when it comes to democratic control in congress. and then there of course is the future of the pandemic. we are in this moment as public health experts say where we are waiting to see where we are. is the vaccine rollout going to outpace questions about the new variants and the potential for another spike? so just because we are in a good place right now and biden is in a good place receipt now doesn't necessary will he mean we will be in the same place in the next couple weeks or months on the pandemic. as much as they are celebrating at the white house the progress they are making so farther very much aware that they are not out of the woods yet. >> right, day 100 will tell us more about that, especially the intersection of the variants and the vaccine rollout and who wins the race, if you will. july is making an important opponent. in washington, in republican votes. out in the country, 68% supports

his handling of the pandemic. that tells you a lot of republicans are supporting the president's bigger picture pandemic response so far. we have this take from the "washington post" post. biden's style and persona have allowed him to be heard as pragmatic. just my temperament and culture and background joe biden seems less idea logical and more pragmatic. do they view it that way at the white house. you are not viewed as a partisan liberal, not identified that way, keep it because that's a bran that helps? >> yes, it is importantly viewed on the hill that way. moderate senators joke that the moderate position is wherever joe biden is. doesn't matter what they are pushing. as long as joe biden is there they feel like they are in a good place identify logically. that creates space for potential future deals ahead. we will see. >> phil is going to stay with

cuomo's weekend message is clear. he will not resign. the number of women accusing him is now at five after two new act

indications this weekend. ana liss says she requested a transfer after the governor called her sweetheart, touched her lower back at a reception and gave her a kiss. quote searing verbal attacks are routine, toxic and the governor frequently wades into the dating lives of younger staffers. cuomo -- karen hinton says cuomo hugged her too tight too long too intimate. two top new york state legislators say cuomo should resign. cuomo says he deserves due process. >> there are some legislator who suggest that i resign because of accusations that are made against me. the -- i was elected by the people of the state. i wasn't elected by politicians.

i'm not going the resign because of allegation. the premise of resigning because of allegations is actually anti-democratic. >> carrying on our conversation, our cnn legal analyst and political analyst. when you hear these democratic legislators, let me bring two of them up on the screen here. the democratic governor, this is the state assembly majority leader and the said assembly speaker. new york is still in the middle of this pandemic and facing the societal and economic impacts of it we need to govern without distraction for the good of the state cuomo must resign. this is the speaker. it is time for the govern or to seriously consider whether he can effectively meet the needs of the people of new york. the governor sounds dug in but he is missing, lacking strong democratic allies, no? >> i think one of the things to think about as we consider this

is that the governor is about to go through what i think will be not a public investigation by the amount of g.'s office there will be information that comes out as a result of that investigation. we also know there is an investigation going into into the nursing home data reporting which basically means we are looking at the next two or three month of a constant barrage of news relating to governor cuomo. he is facing questions now -- the ledges will iters are asking how long it is going to take and whether this start of new york can go on with the situation. unfortunately i think you know john these things take time. from the time the amount of g. picks somebody, the quickest would be six weeks to two months is my guess. you know, there is a certain amount of time that is naturally going to have to take claes. >> anna, when you hear six week to two months and we have watched this -- different circumstances but i covered the clinton white house back in the days of the monica lewinsky episode and impeachment. there were some calls to resign

then. the governor of virginia, north a.m., black face issues, he refused to he are sign. is that the stance to take, wait this out and it will fade? >> that seems to be his playbook for any time he has tried to withstand a scandal this sort. but i do think that the state budget needs to be negotiated by the end of the month and the two leaders who question his ability to do that are the ones he has these conversations with. they are looking at a budget hole of something like 1r5 billion right now. there are a lot of tough choices that need to be made in the state. if they don't at this that that's something he can efficiently and productively do with them then maybe they are looking for a way to do it themselves. >> ann milligram you know from your work as an attorney general the process involved. there are rules, text messages that will be gathered emails

that will be dpaerd over the course of this investigation. and there are also questions of how wide if you will are the potential witnesses. this is deborah katz, an attorney for charlotte bennett who is objecting to the idea that at least in some of these cases it appears that women who felt they were being harassed said i don't want to file anything, i just want to be transferred away from this. listen to this. >> we are hearing that there is a pattern with the governor that when people get sexually harassed they get transferred to different jobs, different agencies or areas of his administration. the people who are doing that transfer are failing the individuals who come forward and failing all of new yorkers. they have a legal obligation to take action, and they failed to do that here. >> you made the point, deborah katz urging other people to come forward there. i read the note you sent the our staff. let's say a women went to the chief of staff or the governor's counsel and said i am being harassed i would like to be transferred i don't want to file

a complaint that the women has the right to say that but whoever received that complaint has an obligation? >> exactly right. this is such an important point john which i don't think has been made enough. the way that the law work -- there is an understanding that there is often a significant power differential. a woman like charlotte bennett coming forward saying i was harassed telling members of the governor's senior staff, she should not be put in the position of accepting a voluntary transfer or whether or not she would go forward with an investigation. there is a mandatory obligation on leadership. at that point once the senior folks knew there was this allegation being made for them to take that allegation seriously and investigate it. i think a major part this investigation is going object the question of what did the governor's staff know? when did they know it? what did they do about it? and what did the governor know about the allegations as well. >> anna, what about the

governor's staff. he is someone who demands loyalty. now he has a problem on his happened. what are the conversations within thenar circle about what to do now and how to cooperate with the investigation. >> the cuomo inner circle is very small and very tight especially in recent days is trying toed by time. let's point out the good things. today we saw the governor in the javits center pointing to the vaccination officer and how it is moving forward. it was a closed session. he didn't take any questions. it was to point out that new york is moving out of the pandemic. we are seeing a be in of top staff kind of jumping shift because they are not sure this is a place they want to be tied to as investigations continue. >> do they go ahead or do they stay? grateful for your report asking expert snees. up next, the president is about to get a big win. what does it mean, if anything, for the rest of the biden agenda?

what's next is a question being asked at the biden white house on this, day 48 of the young administration. the president's first big legislative win should come tomorrow. final house action on the nearly $2 trillion covid relief package. yes, there will be a signing ceremony and a celebration in the days aped but then back to work. two top white house staffers say this, there is still much to be done and no room for complacency. we are racing forward with the passage this bill that the president will sign into law and

then the real work will begin. phil mattingly jones us. the real work, infrastructure, gun reforms, immigration, health care, climate change, criminal justice reform, voting rights. all difficult issues. moments ago the white house press seth says it is still president biden, former senator biden's preference not do away with the fill buster. >> the president's preference is not to get rid of the phil buster. the door of the oval office remains open to bipartisan work. i expect he will continue to work with and reach out to democrats of course but also republicans about ways to work together. >> we talked a bit earlier about this is the biden brand, at least try to be bipartisan. at least try to reach for the middle. take us behind the curtain, though. they understand on many of these issues the answer is probably going to be no. >> go down the lest that you laid out of. tell me how you find ten

republicans in the senate on any of those things. >> maybe infrastructure. >> but joe manchin was talking about one of the first things he wants to do if he wantset to be fully paid for is bump up the corporate rate. that's non-starter for the voss majority of republicans who all voted for the 2017 tax law. how you thread that needle i don't know that anyone has an answer to that at this point in time that said, the white house hasn't been sult about the fact that the president does not support changing the phil buster. there will be pressure that will continue to build and the weeks and months ahead. you will have democrats changing their minds but i haven't gotten any sendment that the president is going to change his mind. the next package is going to try to be infrastructure. they want it to be large. they want to factor in climate issues it could be in the $2 trillion or $3 trillion range. there are no republicans on that path. how long are they willing to

deal with it. that's the question. we have all been speculating what is the next legislative agenda item? they need this $1.9 trillion deal the work. the president biden's theory is showing government can warning again. when we do that, people will trust us and that will help us from the outside push on the inside in terms of vote counting. they need the checks to go out they need everything to come into place. they need the vaccine distribution to continue its ramp up. they need people to be vaccinated. i think that's the most important issue they have got going forward before they get to the next package. >> get the good will of americans out there. i want you to listen. joe manchin says he wants to preserve the filibuster. he said it is critical for the senate to respect the minority party. some saw this as a little bit of wiggle room. >> the senate the most unique governing body in the world. it is tlib.

it is basically designed chuck the make sure the minority has input. that's exactly our founding fathers. if you want to make it more painful, make him stand will and talk i am willing the look at any way we can. but i am not willing to take away the involvement of the minority? we have learned any one starter can hold up the process for hours and hours. there wiggle room if you don't do away with the filibuster on certain pieces of legislation the senate can change the rules? >> i think give where president biden sits, given where manchin sits, with cinema sits nuking the phil buster is not an option. is there a way to do it halfway, maybe on specific pieces of legislation or forcing somebody to have to talk the entire time as opposed to not just getting 60 votes and calling it a day. there are many people working through many proposals to try

the make this work. i think the issue is that the president would be for any significant changes of any kind to the filibuster right now. he wants to give it more time. he wants to see what he can do over the course of the next couple of week. something to keep in mind that i picked up in my conversations is that while no republican voted for the $1.9 trillion plan i have been told there were instances where the white house made clear they would put in provision force republicans who requested them hoping i would pay off in the future. they are in the going the point them out but hoping it will serve as down payment not in terms of buying someone off but in terms of this guy is a fair broker. that's the theory from the case from the president right now. >> the votingites issue is one whether there will be a lot of pressure from the president if the republicans won't. roy blunt of missouri says

this. >> after 14 general election victories, three at a county office, seven to the united states house of representatives and four statewide elections i won't be a candidate for re-election to the united states senate next year. >> now, that means he's still in you was a. you know roy blunt very well. served in house, now a senator. a traditional chamber of commerce farm state republican there. not a fan of ump from, not an favre talking about trump. a big guy on infrastructure. is it -- the washington chatter will be is that somebody president biden can now get? is that a worthy conversation or no, he is done he wants to get out of here. >> i think it is more the former than the latter. roy blunt is somebody what wants to work on things, understands the policy. an appropriator, a close ally of mcconnell. he is not going to become a democratic. he is a conservative republican. that's not going to change but he understands how it is

supposed to work, understands the policy and the type of senator that joe biden is used to working with from his time this the senate. >> a lot of interesting things to watch. phil mattingly making a trip into the bureau for us. you have up next the supreme court swats away another election challenge by yes, former president trump. uh-oh, sorry... oh... what? i'm an emu! no, buddy! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. ♪ we've got drones that can delive fridges that tell us when we're out of eggs, and people with diabetes are still pricking their fingers? meet the dexcom g6. see your glucose right on your phone without fingersticks. finally, a better way to manage our diabetes. priceline works with top hotels, to save you up to 60%. these are all great. and when you get a big deal... you feel like a big deal. ♪ priceline. every trip is a big deal.

enough signatures for the ballot. they have collected nearly 2 million signatures. they must be verified by individual california counties. the coalition has until march 17th and needs 1.5 million validated signatures to put the recall question on the ballot. up next for us, an unexpected delay just as jury selection process was supposed to begin in the trial of police officer derek chauvin, who was charged in the death of george floyd. excellent as a local access show, we want everyone to support local restaurants. right cardi b? yeah! eat local!

jury selection in the trial

the former minneapolis police officer charged with killing george floyd is on hold for a day. the jury pool for the derek chauvin trial assembled in court this morning but the judge sent them home for the day while he awaitsifiedance from an appellate court about a charge in the case. floyd's family members say they will take this trial one day at a home. omar jimenez is outside the courthouse in minneapolis for us. what's the latest. >> john, right now we are in recess until early afternoon. this is scene outside the hen opinion county government center. you can see barricades are up, really throughout the entire circumference this property and windows are bored up as well because they don't want this to rev being breached in part because of what happened last may and also from officials in part because of what they saw

happen at the u.s. capitol in january. the reason we are if recess is over a third-degree murder charge. chauvin is facing second degree unintentional murder charges. he's facing second degree manslaughter charges both of which he has pleaded not guilty to. but the third-degree murder charge is one that prosecutors initially wanted to file against chauvin but it was dropped by the district judge in this case, peter cahill, back in october. prosecutors tried the reinstate it by going to an appeals court judge. an appeals court judge ruled that the district court should reconsider reinstating that motion. then the district court judge says he does not have jurisdictions to reinstate it. and the reason we are in this process is because they have now -- they are now waiting to hear from the appeals court judge if they should delay jury selection until this matter is resolved. so it is a complicated ecosystem going on right now. but bottom line, jurors were

sent home for the day until at least tomorrow and we will see how this case and trial is going to proceed. >> omar jimenez, grateful you are back in minneapolis to take us through what must be a tense week this the city. thank you. we will check in again tomorrow. thank you for spending your time today on inside politics. brianna keilar picks up our coverage right now. hello, i'm brianna keilar. i want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world. after weeks of waiting, the cdc has finally released guidelines for americans who are fully vaccinated for coronavirus. cdc chief dr. wallenski outlining key rules to follow once two weeks have passed since the final dose. >> fully vaccinated people can visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or
