While COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths have rapidly collapsed all across the U.S., the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) still isn't ready to let people take off their masks on airplanes, buses, trains, and subways.
The mask mandate for public transportation was set to expire on March 18, but the TSA has extended it for at least another month, on the recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Federal health officials are working on a "revised policy framework for when, and under what circumstances, masks should be required in the public transportation corridor," according to NPR.
