A federal judge – Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, who sits in Florida – had estimated on Monday that the authorities were overstepping their prerogatives and had canceled the extension of the mandatory mask, announced a week earlier.
The country’s major airlines, which for the most part made the mask compulsory in the spring of 2020, dropped the constraint in stride on Monday evening, followed by the rail company Amtrak. VTC companies Uber and Lyft followed suit on Tuesday morning.
The administration “continues to believe that the mask-wearing requirement on transportation is a good use of the authority that Congress has given to the CDC (Centers for Disease Prevention and Control, editor’s note) to protect health public,” she said in a statement.
