The notice came minutes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention asked the Justice Department to appeal the decision handed down by a federal judge in Florida earlier this week.
The CDC said in a statement that it is its"continuing assessment that at this time an order requiring masking in the indoor transportation corridor remains necessary for the public health."
The CDC had recently extended the mask mandate, which was set to expire Monday, until May 3 to allow more time to study the BA.2 omicron subvariant, which is now responsible for the vast majority of U.S. cases. But the court ruling Monday had put that decision on hold. Biden's administration has offered mixed messages in the wake of the Monday ruling. While officials said Americans should heed the CDC's guidance even if it was no longer a requirement, Biden himself suggested they had more flexibility on masking-up during transit.
"People are not legally bound to wear masks," she said, after the court order."So, it is a point in time where it is up to people - it is their choice, in that regard.
