Please note that the CDC advises:

Vaccines: “Getting vaccinated prevents severe illness, hospitalizations, and death. Unvaccinated people should get vaccinated and continue masking until they are fully vaccinated. With the variants like Delta and Omicron, this is more urgent than ever.”

Unvaccinated individuals: “If you are not fully vaccinated and aged 2 or older, you should wear a mask in indoor public places.”

Fully vaccinated individuals: “To maximize protection from the Delta and Omicron variants and prevent possibly spreading it to others, wear a mask indoors in public if you are in an area of substantial or high transmission.” 

Travel:

Data Center World recommends all participants review the CDC guidance on travel.

Be aware, the CDC requires masks at public transportation hubs and on all public transportation. This includes but is not limited to airports, flights, taxi/ride share, and local busses.
