Fully Vaccinated Can Go Maskless
New guidance from the CDC says that fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear masks or social distance in most circumstances. In a press briefing today the group said those fully vaccinated are protected and can resume things they had stopped doing because of the pandemic, both indoors and outdoors. There are some circumstances in which masks and distancing for vaccinated individuals are still recommended, such as in health care settings or when traveling on public transportation.

Eid al-Fitr Celebration
This morning the Islamic Center of Naperville hosted an outdoor prayer service in the Fox Valley Mall parking lot to celebrate Eid-al-Fitr. Due to social gathering restrictions this is the second year in a row ICN hosted the Muslim festival of breaking the fast, celebrating the end of Ramadan, at the Fox Valley Mall. Thousands of community members were spaced out for social distancing on prayer mats and in cars, as prayers were broadcast over a loudspeaker. Those spaced out further in the lot could tune into the service on their radio. The event was also broadcast online.
