An extension on the federal mask mandate on airplanes and in airports is being considered, White House COVID-19 coordinator Ashish Jha said on April 11, even as cases and hospitalizations around the United States have dropped significantly in recent months.

Masks are still mandatory on American flights?

Federal mask mandate in US extended by CDC through May 3 for planes, public transit, hubs and terminals.

And they might extend it beyond that date I assume.

It's the bureaucratic way...

Democratic governors are having a hard time goving up emergency powers.



In Nevada, the state of emergency has been declared in perpetuity, even as state lawmakers have unsuccessfully tried to pass measures limiting the authority of Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak.



In Kansas, the emergency authority of Gov. Laura Kelly, also a Democrat, extends to January 2023. She has clung to the order even as the state's director of public health—a now-estranged former political ally—questioned the need for a continued state of emergency.



And in North Carolina, Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper in November vetoed legislation that would require wider input from elected leaders if he wished to continue his ability to issue restrictions under a declared emergency. The Republican-controlled legislature got around the veto by attaching provisions to the state's budget bill, which prevent Cooper from again declaring a state emergency and exercising singular authority for longer than 30 days. Yet Cooper last week extended the emergency due to expire in April even as cases waned.

A federal judge in Florida on Monday declared the Biden administration's mask mandate for public transportation unlawful.



U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, ruled that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention exceeded its statutory authority by imposing masking requirements on airplanes, airports, and other forms of public transportation and transportation hubs. Mizelle wrote in a 59-page opinion that the agency did not follow proper procedure in issuing the masking order and failed to adequately explain its decisions.

As Canada grapples with a sixth wave of COVID-19, there are some voices calling from the sidelines to enact aggressive pandemic protocol rules once again. Thankfully, officials across the country are for the most part not giving in to those demands.



For example, in Ontario there is a considerable lobbying effort to get the province to reintroduce a mask mandate. The Doug Ford government isn't budging. Good for them.



When school boards have attempted to force masks back onto all students, the province has waded in to tell them to back off.

No more restrictions or mask mandates.
