   Off with the mask? Not so fast, if you’re a member of Congress.   
      
   Despite updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and   
   Prevention (CDC) stating that fully vaccinated people can “resume   
   activities that you did prior to the pandemic” without wearing a mask or   
   social distancing, House members are still required to keep their masks on   
   in the chamber except when speaking during debate.   
      
   House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told CNN reporter Manu Raju she   
   would not change the rule despite the new CDC recommendations.   
      
   “No,” she said, according to Raju on Twitter. “Are they all vaccinated?”   
      
   A few hours later, Capitol Attending Physician Brian Monahan confirmed in   
   a memo that the chamber’s mask requirement would “remain unchanged until   
   all Members and floor staff are fully vaccinated.” Monahan added that the   
   new CDC guidance does apply in House office buildings and all other areas.   
      
   Pelosi estimated in late April that around 75 percent of House members   
   have been vaccinated. She also said she would not force the remaining   
   members to get the vaccine, citing privacy concerns.   
      
   “I can’t go to the Capitol physician and say, ‘Give me the names of people   
   who aren’t vaccinated so I can go encourage them to,’ or make it known to   
   others to encourage them to be vaccinated,” she told reporters at the   
   time. “So we can’t do that. But you would hope that science would guide   
   them to protect themselves, their family members and be good colleagues in   
   the workplace to get vaccinated. And the sooner that happens, the better   
   for everything.”   
      
   Republicans accused the Speaker of being over-cautious, with one member   
   calling on Pelosi to end what he dubbed “Mask-erpiece Theater.”   
      
   “For all the talk from President Biden, Speaker Pelosi, and the mainstream   
   media telling us to follow the science, political leaders should be   
   setting an example for getting back to normal, not cowering in fear in   
   defiance of common sense,” Rep. Bob Gibbs (R-Ohio) said in a statement.   
   “Based on sound science, the CDC says those who are vaccinated have an   
   incredibly low risk of becoming infected with coronavirus. With that data,   
   there is no reason the House of Representatives should not be fully open   
   and returned to normal operations. It’s time to end the House’s mask   
   mandate and staggered voting.”   
      
   “[Masks] should have been gone months ago,” Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.)   
   told Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” Thursday. “Most members have either   
   been vaccinated or they have antibodies. This is a dumb rule to have.”   
      
   House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) agreed, saying Pelosi should   
   “just return to sanity.”   
      
   “She wants to control the House,” Scalise told host Laura Ingraham. “She   
   wants to keep the public out of the people’s House, by the way, too. The   
   American people are done with all of these shut-ins. They want to see   
   their government in action.”   
      
   Pelosi first imposed a mandatory mask policy for the House chamber in July   
   of last year after Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) tested positive for   
   coronavirus. In December, as cases increased nationwide, Pelosi required   
   lawmakers to keep their masks on at all times in the chamber, even while   
   speaking.   
      
   No members of Congress have publicly disclosed a positive coronavirus test   
   since late January.
