It is a good thing that I am not planning on flying anytime soon. The thought of sitting for hours with a mask on is not at all appealing. I've done it.
The TSA (under what authority I have no idea) is extending the mask mandate for planes and other forms of public transportation into April.
According to an article in TravelPulse:
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced it would extend the mandatory mask mandate on public transportation until at least April 18.
According to NBCNews.com, government officials from the White House and TSA said they are working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on a revised policy framework for when the mask mandates can be safely lifted.
The facial covering requirements were set to expire on March 18, but now have been extended for another month. The decision to extend the mandate come as every state has now lifted the protocols or announced plans to drop them in the near future.
