Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, on Friday updated its mask policy to specify that people who have gotten the COVID-19 vaccine are still required to wear them, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
"Please bring your own face coverings and wear them at all times, except when dining or swimming," the website reads. "You may remove your face covering while actively eating or drinking, but you must be stationary and maintain appropriate physical distancing."
The CDC says the vaccine helps protect the patient from getting COVID-19, but it is not yet clear whether vaccination will protect people from spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 to other people.
