The mask mandate is likely going to end in early May. Here's when you still may want to wear one on a plane.
“I think the bigger question is what do they do after the two weeks,” said Gottlieb. “There is some scuttlebutt that [the CDC] won’t lift the mask mandate entirely, but they'll require passengers to wear masks when they come on to planes and when they come off the planes.”
“Those are the highest risk points in time — when you’re boarding or when you’re coming off — because you’re congregating without the good air filtration,” said Gottlieb, adding that the air filtration “is only good once the engines start and the air is actually moving. The two most dangerous points in time are when you get on and off the plane when the air filtration isn't on.”
For months, the mask mandate has been a bone of contention between the CDC and airlines. Last month, the chief executives of the seven U.S. airlines — Alaska, American, Delta, Hawaiian, JetBlue, United and Southwest — asked President Biden to end the mask mandate and drop the pre-departure testing requirement for international travelers coming to the U.S.
