US President Joe Biden has hailed a "great day for America" as US officials said vaccinated people can go mask-less in most indoor and outdoor settings.
The president removed his mask in the Oval Office with Republican lawmakers as the guidance was being announced, reports the BBC.
The advice still calls for wearing masks in crowded indoor settings like buses, planes and hospitals.
The Biden administration has faced pressure to ease restrictions on fully vaccinated people.
