Starting today if you're flying on a plane you must wear a protective mask, and you have to keep it on during the entire flight.

Those are the new TSA rules.

TSA will require individuals to wear a mask at TSA airport screening checkpoints and throughout the commercial and public transportation systems. This requirement will remain effective until May 11, 2021.

President Biden issued the mandate requiring all Americans to wear masks on planes, trains, buses, ferries, taxis and ride-share vehicles.

The CDC requested the mask mandate insisting it is necessary to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
