But peeling back mask-wearing mandates, which is happening in Texas and elsewhere, is the wrong move, said Dr. Jennifer Horney, co-founder of the epidemiology program at the University of Delaware.

"States should continue to focus on mitigation measures that we know work for the next several months until we can reach all those eligible to be vaccinated," she said.
