Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provided updated guidance on mask-wearing for fully vaccinated people that includes not having to wear facial coverings indoors and not having to socially distance themselves from others.

Wegmans announced on Wednesday, May 19 that “in accordance with the latest CDC guidance, fully vaccinated customers are no longer required to wear a face-covering in our stores, except where mandated at the state or local level.”

According to Wegmans, markets in these locations still require a mask indoors:
