Masks are no longer required at the three main movie theatre chains in the United States for people who are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, according to updated guidelines.

AMC Entertainment, Cinemark and Regal Cinemas said on their websites that moviegoers who are not fully vaccinated will be asked to continue wearing masks, and that other social-distancing measures and cleaning protocols will remain in place.

The changes for movie theaters come two weeks after the CDC said that fully vaccinated people need not wear masks in any setting.
