The obligatory wearing of masks on flights to the United States has been extended by another month.
According to a CNBC economic media report on the 10th, the Federal Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) announced on the 10th that it has decided to extend the deadline for the mandatory wearing of masks for users of public transport such as airplanes, airports, trains and buses until April 18th. . TSA’s mandatory mask policy was originally scheduled to end on the 19th of this month.
The brief one-month extension is being interpreted as the fact that the Joe Biden administration and other local governments are lifting mandatory mask-wearing measures as the spread of the Omicron Corona 19 mutation has recently subsided.
Given the recent atmosphere, it seems highly likely that the mandatory mask-wearing measure in the United States will end during the spring season of this year, and this extension is expected to be the last extension.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said: “Over the next month, we plan to keep pace with sharing information on general policy changes, such as when and how, for mandatory mask-wearing measures on public transportation with government departments.”
Since its inauguration last January, the Biden administration has implemented a policy requiring passengers on planes, trains, subways, taxis, ships and public vehicles to wear masks. Public transit users in the United States aged 2 years and older must wear a face mask.
As far as mandatory mask-wearing measures go, the US airline industry has a problem with passengers who refuse to wear masks on board.
