Welcome to the lead. I'm Pamela Brown in today for Jake Tapper and we begin with the health lead today to CBC released its first set of guidance for fully vaccinated Americans loosening some specific restrictions.

If grandparents have been vaccinated, they can visit their daughter and her family, even if they have not been vaccinated so long as the daughter and her family are not at risk for severe disease.

But vaccinated Americans will still need to wear a mask and public or in many other settings with unvaccinated people and travelers still being discouraged for now.

There is also a turning point in the battle against coronavirus today. There are now more than 31 million people fully vaccinated in the U.S. and that is more than all of the Americans who have been infected during this entire pandemic as CNN's Nick Watt reports.

You can visit your grandparents if you have been vaccinated and they have been too.

Finally, guidance for the fully vaccinated how the government would like you to behave fully vaccinated people can visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or physical distancing.

Visit with unvaccinated people from a single household who are at low risk of severe COVID-19 disease indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing.

But even fully vaccinated still avoid travel and out and about, still wear a mask.

There is still a small risk that vaccinated people could become infected with milder or asymptomatic disease and potentially even transmit the virus to others who are not vaccinated.

The update as the science evolves but for now, definitely don't do this.

A mask burning protest in Boise, Idaho over the weekend.

Yeah, it's not helpful for people to be burning masks. We want people to choose to make the right decision to wear a mask.

But will they? Meantime? Nearly 2.2 million vaccine doses now going into arms on the average day.

I know the pace is challenging. This is a war. We can't let out.

New cases now averaging just over 60,000 a day. Lowest number in about 5 months but about 20% of those cases could be the more contagious variant first identified in the UK according to one testing company.

The today is wrecking havoc in parts of Europe. We are in the eye of the hurricane right now.

Still, there is a creeping normalcy this past weekend. Air travel, biggest numbers since the holidays.

Miami is the place to be. Spring break is here.

An all ready pushback from the airline industry to that CDC guidance that even fully vaccinated people should still avoid travel.

Airlines for America says that with the air filtration in planes and all the masks, the risk really is very low.

But of course travel is not just your time on the airplane and the CDC director says that every time we see a surge in travel, we see a surge in cases.

Pamela. All right, Nick. Thanks for that.
