Did these people contract the virus outside?

Had they been vaccinated?

Or did they go dine indoors? Go to a bar?

Engage in other risky behavior?

If you are vaccinated, outdoors is almost entirely safe unless you are right up on people.
And even then the vaccine efficacy is 95%.

So you are still VERY safe outdoors without a mask on.

IF YOU ARE VACCINATED (which was the original thrust of the OP)
