Although the federal government will not enforce the mask mandate for airlines and mass transit after a federal judge's ruling, the MTA is still requiring masks on New York City subways, buses, and commuter trains.
"Due to today’s court ruling, effective immediately, TSA will no longer enforce its Security Directives and Emergency Amendment requiring mask use on public transportation and transportation hubs," the Transportation Security Administration said in a statement. "CDC continues to recommend that people wear masks in indoor public transportation settings at this time."
The White House confirmed that the court ruling means that for now the mask order "is not in effect at this time." "The CDC recommended continuing the order for additional time, two weeks, to be able to assess the latest science in keeping with its responsibility to protect the American people," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said. "So this is obviously a disappointing decision. The CDC continues recommending wearing a mask in public transit."
