No More Masks on Planes for Vaxxed Americans, Says Group of U.S. Senators

On 24JUN, a group of Senate Republicans urged the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to stop requiring fully vaccinated Americans to wear masks on public transport, including airplanes, trains, buses, and also locations such as airports and train stations. “Over 150 million people in the United States are fully vaccinated and mask mandates have been lifted across the country. But the CDC inexplicably still hasn’t lifted the mask mandate for public transportation,” said Republican Senator Ted Cruz. A CDC spokeswoman declined to comment.
