Transportation Mask Requirements may be Extended yet again

If we were not hiding behind masks for long enough, the requirement to wear the sweat-inducing face cover on planes and public transportation may now be extended for another 30 days by the Biden Administration, CNN reported.  

The requirement was set to expire on March 18 after having been extended twice before.

"This revised framework will be based on the COVID-19 community levels, risk of new variants, national data, and the latest science," the administration official said. "We will communicate any updates publicly if and/or when they change."  

The U.S. Travel Association, American Hotel and Lodging Association and Airlines for America sent a letter to White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeffrey Zeintz following the CDC announcement, urging the Biden administration to lift the mask mandate by its planned date and end other COVID travel restrictions.

In the letter, the groups said ending travel advisories, repealing the federal mask mandate and working with other countries to end travel restrictions are crucial to restoring the U.S. economy and workforce.
