PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Dr. Ashish Jha said although there will be some confusion and complexities regarding mask wearing now that many states have lifted mask requirements in most situations, life for most vaccinated people is returning to normal.

Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, spoke Wednesday on a weekly podcast hosted by The Providence Journal.

Jha said people who are fully vaccinated don’t need to wear masks indoors or out, and don’t need to socially distance.

But he did say that there are exceptions, for example crowded stadiums and packed indoor concerts where people could be exposed to another person’s breathing for hours.
