A U.S. appeals court panel Thursday vacated an April 2022 ruling that had declared unlawful a government order requiring masks on airplanes and other transportation modes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Justice Department had asked 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to declare the issue moot after President Joe Biden ended the COVID-19 public health emergency in May.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had issued the sweeping mask mandate days after Biden took office in January 2021, requiring masks on airplanes, buses, trains, ride-sharing services and at airports and other transportation hubs to combat COVID. Judge Charles Wilson, who was appointed to the court by President Bill Clinton, said in the appeals court opinion that "while we think a legal degree confers many advantages, we do not believe it equips us to accurately predict if or when another global respiratory pandemic will infect our shared world."
