Breaking: CDC Asks DOJ to Appeal Transportation Mask Mandate Ruling

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it has asked the Justice Department to appeal a federal judge’s ruling that overturned a federal mask mandate for air travel and public transportation.

“To protect CDC’s public health authority beyond the ongoing assessment last week, CDC has asked DOJ to proceed with an appeal” of the ruling, the agency said in a statement. “It is CDC’s continuing assessment that at this time an order requiring masking in the indoor transportation corridor remains necessary for the public health.”

U.S. district judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle ruled on Monday that the mask mandate for air travel, buses, and trains violated the Administrative Procedure Act. Numerous airlines as well as Amtrak rescinded their mask requirements the same day.
