Democrats and attendees of Joe Biden’s inauguration ignored social distancing guidelines during the ceremony Wednesday.
The event would be categorized as “highest risk,” which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines as “Large in-person gatherings where it is difficult for individuals to remain spaced at least 6 feet apart and attendees travel from outside the local area.”
