Airports across the U.S. 'a bit chaotic' on first day of overturning 'mask order'

　　China News Service, April 20. According to the US Chinese website, on the 19th local time, after a US judge stopped the Biden administration's mask order, airports across the United States were divided on whether to implement the mask order.

On April 19, local time, passengers waited in line at the Love Field Airport in Dallas, Texas, United States.

　　According to reports, the New Zealand Airport Authority, which oversees JFK, Newark and LaGuardia airports and bus terminals, said in a statement on the 19th local time that despite the change in policy at the federal level, it will continue to Follow state mask guidelines.

Therefore, masks are still required at LaGuardia and JFK airports in New York, as well as other transportation facilities in New York.

　　Likewise, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport will continue to enforce mask orders due to an executive order issued by the state of Illinois.

O'Hare International Airport said in a statement that the Chicago Aviation Authority "will continue to follow, adhere to and enforce all guidance from federal, state and local health and safety departments" and will still require "wearing on public transportation and transportation hubs" Facial mask".

　　And other airports across the U.S., including San Francisco International, Phoenix Sky Harbor and Dallas-Fort Worth, have moved to rescind mask orders.

Likewise, major airlines including United, AA, Delta and Southwest have all suspended mask requirements.

　　Differences in local policies, combined with the relaxation of requirements by many airlines, could lead to confusion for passengers, the report said.

For example, although O'Hare Airport will continue to enforce mask regulations, United Airlines, headquartered at Chicago Airport, announced on the 18th local time that it would no longer enforce the mask order.

Additionally, the airport from which the passenger took off may have discontinued the mask requirement, but the destination airport may still require it.

　　A federal judge in the United States made a ruling on the 18th local time to overturn the "mask order" issued by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and implemented in the public transportation system.

The federal government, disappointed by this, has called on people to wear masks when using the public transport system.
