The U.S. Justice Department said yesterday it is appealing the ruling by a federal judge this week that voided the mask mandate for public transportation, the NPR website reports today (April 21, 2022).
DOJ spokesman Anthony Coley said the appeal had been filed in light of the determination by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that wearing a mask "remains necessary to protect public health."
The CDC continues to recommend that people wear masks in all indoor public transportation settings and says "wearing masks is most beneficial in crowded or poorly ventilated locations, such as the transportation corridor."
