Americans are taking fewer precautions two years into the pandemic, a poll says.

According to a poll released on Tuesday by The Associated Press and NORC, fewer Americans are reporting that they have been wearing masks.

According to the poll, about 44 percent of Americans wore a mask outside of their home this month, down from about two-thirds during the peak of the Omicron wave in January.

Only a third of Americans said this month that they still avoided others as much as possible, compared with over half of them just two months earlier. In the month of March, 40 percent said they continued to avoid nonessential travel, down from 60 percent in January.

According to the poll, people 60 and older were the most likely to have taken precautions.

Andrew Noymer, a public health professor at the University of California, Irvine, said that the poll results showed that the country was at a lull in the Pandemic.

He said that they were being authorized to take fewer precautions by the C.D.C.

The CDC suggested in February that most Americans should stop wearing masks.

According to the poll, Americans are less interested in hiding everywhere they go outside the home in the years to come.

The Covid vaccines will be one of the best ways to control the Pandemic, according to Dr. Arnold S. Monto, a professor of epidemiology and global public health at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.
