“A federal judge in Florida struck down a national mask mandate on airplanes and mass transit Monday, and airlines and airports swiftly began repealing their requirements that passengers wear face coverings.” (AP News)
“The Justice Department announced Tuesday that it will appeal the ruling… The Justice Department will not, however, ask the court to stay the decision, meaning passengers will be able to continue traveling maskless while the decision is litigated.” (NBC News)
The left opposes the decision, and urges people to continue wearing masks.
The right supports the decision, and argues that the mask mandate is no longer necessary.
