Despite CDC News, Masks Still Required at New York Airports
byDaniel McCarthy/
Face masks will no longer be required on planes and other forms of public transportation after a federal judge in Florida on Monday ruled against the federal mask mandate and the White House, shortly after, said it would no longer enforce it while it is under review.
许多旅行行业名称,包括美国旅行协会以及几乎所有美国航空公司such as American, Delta, JetBlue, United, and more, welcomed the news, removing their own face mask mandates that had been installed during the pandemic.
尽管本周的机场经历完全不同,但有些旅行者将不会因为从白宫移动而不会,但在某些人口贩运最多的美国机场仍将需要面具面具。
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the body that governs all airports, bridges, tunnels, bus terminals, and trains in the New York metro area, said on Tuesday that the mask mandate remains in effect for some New York facilities because of local health guidance.
港口管理局在一份声明中说:“港口管理局将继续遵循纽约和新泽西州公共卫生部门在其公共交通设施中授权的指导。”
That includes LaGuardia Airport and JFK International Airport, two of the most popular U.S. airport by passenger volume, along with the Port Authority Bus Terminal, New York Stewart International Airport, and the World Trade Center Oculus Transportation Hub.
纽瓦克自由International Airport, New Jersey’s largest airport and another major metro-New York hub, along with Teterboro Airport will not require masks after additional New Jersey public health guidance was issued on Tuesday.
The New York Subway system, along with the PATH Train into and out of New Jersey, will also continue to require masks because of the local New York state rules. Uber, on the other hand, will now allow passengers to ride without a mask and use the front seat if they need to.
All that means that, until New York’s rules change, someone taking mass transit to the airport could be going through three different mask rule changes during a trip depending on what airport and what destination they are flying to, before even touching down on their outbound leg. That includes possibly going from wearing a mask inside of the airport if a passenger is flying out of JFK or LaGuardia, to being able to remove a mask once they have boarded their flight.
