CDC Extends Travel Mask Mandate 15 More Days
Posted April 14, 2022
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is extending its travel mask mandate for another 15 days amid an uptick in COVID cases.
“Since early April, there have been increases in the 7-day moving average of cases in the U.S. In order to assess the potential impact the rise of cases has on severe disease, including hospitalizations and deaths, and health care system capacity, the CDC Order will remain in place at this time,” said CDC spokesperson Kristen Nordlund on Wednesday.
“The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has decided to extend the security directive and emergency amendment for 15 days, through May 3, 2022.”
NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci praised the CDC’s decision but lamented that the extension is not long enough.
“I think making a decision for April 18…I would agree that we really do need more time. It isn’t like things are static. Things are moving, we’re seeing an increase throughout the country,” Fauci said on MSNBC, adding the extension would “be a prudent thing to do.”
