BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex announced Thursday that it is updating its safety guidelines to require all visitors, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, to wear masks indoors.

Officials said the change, which goes into effect Thursday, comes in accordance with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance that masks should be required in areas of high spread of COVID-19.
